Résumé
Fashion Underground is a 2006 feature film directed by Paul Thomas. Set within the competitive and high-stakes world of the international fashion industry, the narrative explores the intense rivalries and personal struggles of individuals striving for success on the runway.
The story focuses on Tera (Tera Patrick), an elite fashion model determined to stay at the top of her game despite being surrounded by people eager to see her fail, including jealous designers and ambitious younger models looking to take her place. A significant subplot involves a contentious relationship between characters played by Marcos Leon and Faith, who find themselves forced to share a hotel room, leading to a shift from mutual hostility to physical intimacy. Another standout performance comes from Steven St. Croix, who plays a flamboyant and eccentric fashion designer named "LaCroix".
The film is characterized by its attempt to blend a satirical take on the mainstream fashion world with explicit adult content. The extensive ensemble cast includes prominent performers of the era, such as Penny Flame, Aaliyah Jolie, Ava Ramone, Chloe Morgan, Lanny Barby, Samantha Ryan, Shy Love, Tommy Gunn, and Trent Tesoro. Unlike the high-gloss "blockbuster" style of some contemporary studios, this Paul Thomas production relies on a mix of industry satire and character-driven vignettes typical of mid-2000s narrative adult features.
