The studio has several new inmates. A couple of them are right at the other end of the floor to the gang, they are very busy, we don’t see much of them.
A couple of the newbies are French fashion students studying at a prestigious London school. One of them, Maison M, is making the most of Marmalade’s height and figure. She is his fit model and he photographs her in the clothes that he designs as they develop. She looks spectacular, but unlike herself.
Maison M directs her, mostly her face.
Stop smiling.
I look at you and what I see is that smile, I see kindness.
No.
What I want to see is Fashion.
I understand that the required face does not pout, it does not invite friendship, it is disinterested in the viewer, but look at those clothes, you want them. Yes you do.
Given our propensity for being silly, and his passionate seriousness, it’s a miracle that he is able to get her to behave. Charm.
As a consequence of his efforts Marmalade has found her fashion face, and it is fabulous.
