Here's my spoiler: the point of the documentary is to take a current photograph with legendary women who define the term supermodel.
Leading up to the photograph, however, the film is filled with monologues from each individual telling her own story or most memorable shoot. To hear some of these women speak -- some of whom its the first time I've ever even heard their voice -- captivated me. So much that I have watched this about 20 times since it first aired.
As their stories are being told, the photos they reference are cut onto the screen.
Maybe to a lot of people its a fluff piece ... about something that there isn't a great deal of interest in. I have spent hours completely enraptured listening to these women speak. Most of these women I have loved as they were still on the runway ... others (i.e. Carmen Dell'Orefice) I've seen pictures of but not heard anything about them until now.
A definitive work for anyone even remotely interested in fashion -- as told by the women who were there to help build the industry from the ground up. Bravo HBO for letting this be made. Its not anything you can really see anywhere else.
