Variety reports that Amazon U.K. has ordered an eight-part drama series from Ugly Betty showrunner Oliver Goldstick about French fashion after World War II. The Collection, which has been commissioned by Amazon and BBC Worldwide via its producer Lookout Point, will focus on the work of a Paris fashion house after the
“dark days of the Occupation.” It’s unclear if by “dark days,” the synopsis means the Nazi’s ruthless treatment of Jews hiding in France or the proliferation of frumpy trench coats, but maybe the point is that we no longer have to choose between crimes against humanity and crimes against fashion.
