FASHION / Pret-a-Porter: The movie
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Robert Altman, director of The Player, the film that was a brilliant pastiche of the inner workings of Hollywood, has turned his attention to the fashion business. Pret-a-Porter is scheduled to start filming against the backdrop of the Paris shows in October, and everyone wants to be in it. The only part so far confirmed is Lauren Bacall, who will play a character based on the late Diana Vreeland. Who else plays whom in the ultimate fashion story? We did our own casting
