Summary

Whereas the first models to grace the catwalks were hired from the ranks of seamstresses and paid wages on par with floorsweepers, the model turned supermodel of the 80s and 90s has become the ultimate dream of self-made success.

Catwalking is a stunning look at the world of the fashion industry and modelling, illustrated with a wealth of rare photographs and graphic material.
