An op-art satire of the fashion industry, based around the sleek bobs and Pierre Cardin fineries of chic 60s France.
The image of actress-model Dorothy McGowan as Polly Maggoo, with sleek bob and Pierre Cardin fineries, is a defining image of chic 60s France. Yet Klein's op-art masterpiece, using a television crew to follow the model's every move, is a satire of the fashion industry. It is also very funny, and so sharp you have to see it more than once to catch all the barbs.
