Synopsis
Make no mistake, a catwalk is a slippery slope to hell, says this play about black people who work in the fashion business. But why is this so for some and not others? Are those who do fall down that slope the victims of racism and general heartlessness, or are they silly schemers, getting only a harsher version of what they deserve?
