This film shows not only the fashion sporadically played in Klein's production, but also the shifts in taste that have by turns cast him in the spotlight or relegated him to the wings.
This kaleidoscopic film-collage dealing with Klein's work relating to fashion and costume creation (with his wife Jeanne) mixes excerpts from Klein's feature films with imagery from his reportage and fashion photography, his TV commercials, his books, his paintings and even includes rare footage he shot backstage of Yves Saint-Laurent's very first runaway show. Given the current revival of attention to nearly all aspects of his career, Klein's now classic work remains very much in fashion.
