A really jaw-dropping televisual feast tonight - BBC4's documentary The Secret World of Haute Couture...
Probably screened to coincide with the opening of the V&A exhibition The Golden Age of Couture, which opened on Saturday, and the London Fashion Week, this insight into the world of those face-lifted sunglasses-wearing ladies who form the "inner circle" of the high fashion world is amazing.
Ateliers, Baronesses, rare feathers, Parisienne salons, sequins, Mitfords, dodgy hairpieces, Wallis Simpson, former air hostesses who married rather well, a plethora of old queens - this programme has it all!
Catch it on replay if you can! It's worth it.
