Un voyage hallucinant dans l'univers des agences de mode ! L'auteur a interviewé plus de cinq cents mannequins, stylistes et couturiers. Il croyait entrer dans un monde féerique : il a trouvé l'anorexie, l'alcool, la drogue, le racisme, le chantage sous forme d'esclavage sexuel et même pire, depuis les adolescentes naïves jetées sur le marché de la prostitution jusqu'aux suicides et aux meurtres mystérieux de célèbres top models. Car même quand vient le succès, les paillettes dissimulent souvent des pièges redoutables, auxquels les jeunes femmes ne sont pas toujours préparées. Les stars de la profession peuvent en témoigner : de Rose Gordon (1920) à Twiggy ou Claudia Schiffer, de Kate Moss à Naomi Campbell, qui toutes défilent dans ce livre. Un livre révélateur où la cruauté côtoie la séduction, sur fond de mirages scintillants et de rêves brisés.
