Published in January 1995 by Boxtree, this "scrapbook" documents the creation of Robert Altman's Prêt-à-Porter (1994), set during Paris Fashion Week.

The book compiles the film's creative process through previously unpublished photographs from the filming and real parades, interviews, and graphic material.

It includes a conversation with Altman, excerpts from the diaries of Richard E. Grant and Tracey Ullman, and testimonials from the ensemble cast:

• Sophia Loren
• Julia Roberts
• Marcello Mastroianni
• Tim Robbins
• Kim Basinger
• Lauren Bacall
• Lyle Lovett
• Danny Aiello
• Stephen Rea

It also features appearances by stars such as Cher and Björk, designers (Jean-Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Claude Montana) and reflections from fashion figures such as Thierry Mugler, Sonia Rykiel and Lamine Kayote.
