Six films in which
Chris Serle and Paul Heiney take it in turns to plunge in at the deep end and learn the hard way about a completely new world. Fashion Designer
Paul Heiney 's total achievement in art is an 0-level pass. It's not the highest qualification for a would-be world-class fashion designer.
There's to be a gala fashion show at Guildhall, in the City of London. Royalty will be there. Paul sets his sight on this glittering evening. To get there, he has to design the Heiney

For guidance Paul turns to fashionable Bruce Oldfield , designer to princesses and film stars. Help and criticism comes from
Jean Muir and Hardy Amies. It's film star

Paul's dresses are finished. International model
Michelle Paradise is to wear them. But how will they be received when she steps out on the catwalk? Research JO CLOUGH
