It's the early 1990's and no other TV show has quite as much cultural influence as The Fashion Den. Set in the high-stakes, cut-throat world of high fashion and haute couture, The Fashion Den turns models into supermodels by showcasing their lives on and off the runway. Designers and celebrities across the world beg to be interviewed by the show's beautiful, charismatic, and fearless host, Karen Kincaid, who is on her way to becoming an international sensation. Millions of viewers (mostly women and gay men) tune in every week to fantasize about the lives of the rich and glamorous and learn about trends in food, art, and culture. But what the viewers don't see is all the drama that's going on behind the camera.
At the center of the insanity is Fashion Den showrunner Lucy Bellini. She's Miranda Priestly meets Sex and the City's Samantha with an uncontrollable temper and a libido to match. Lucy's fiery personality and obsession with models (discovering them... molding them... sleeping with them...) have gotten her fired from three different fashion magazines. But for some reason the network sees her as the ideal person to run The Fashion Den. They give her free rein over the entire production... a misguided decision to say the least. Lucy hand-picks the entire Fashion Den staff, and from the smoking hot producer to the impressionable young assistant to the production manager with a knack for hiding Lucy's lavish expenses, the Fashion Den production office is a hotbed for sex, secrets, lies, and revenge.
All of the drama unfolds through the POV of Ed Thomas, a production assistant whose sexuality (straight) and lack of fashion knowledge (he thinks Banana Republic is couture) make him an unlikely Fashion Den staffer. He joins the team on the one-year anniversary of the show, and if he thinks that being tasked with taping up a model's boobs before a runway show is the worst it can get... he's in for one hell of a ride.
