A young girl from the Brooklyn housing projects goes from the subway to the runway becoming one of the most sought after models in the fashion industry. But in the high stakes world of fashion and beauty. Things aren't always as pretty and glamorous as they seem.
Acting
Tatyana Ali commits hard to every melodramatic monologue about 'making it.'
Production
Actual fashion week footage mixed with shoestring indie scenes = unintentional comedy gold.
Director
Shawn Baker
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tatyana Ali developed this project herself after years of being told she wasn't 'high fashion enough' — the rejection letters are basically the script's first draft.
This dropped right when Instagram was destroying traditional modeling gatekeeping, making its 'discovered on the subway' fantasy already retro by 2015.
