Under the direction of the prolific Italian filmmaker Mario Bianchi, "Sex à porter" unfolds as a narrative that intertwines explicit eroticism with the superficial glamour of the high fashion industry. The story dives into the dynamics of power and desire simmering behind the couture runways, following a group of models, photographers, and designers whose professional ambitions are constantly overwhelmed by their carnal impulses. Throughout the film, Bianchi explores the notion that in the world of prêt-à-porter, bodies do not merely wear luxury garments but serve as objects of exchange and pleasure. Unlike many contemporary productions of its era, the director attempts to imbue the film with a patina of visual sophistication, emulating the glossy aesthetic of fashion magazines. The plot is sustained by the rivalries between the protagonists, who wield their sexuality as a strategic tool for social climbing and dominance within the competitive circles of European fashion, all while Bianchi maintains his characteristic late-nineties style through choreographed encounters set in opulent and hedonist environments.
