Synopsis

An aspiring model (Kelly Collins) hits the streets of Paris only to find the French fashion community's every door firmly shut. When a late-night hookup leads to a chance liaison with a mysterious mogul (Apolonia Lapiedra), Kelly lands a make-or-break opportunity in a top model contest. The competition turns fierce on and off the runway when Kelly's rival (Vanessa Alessia) struts her stuff. As Kelly vies for private photoshoots and lingerie sponsorships, the other models (Christy White, Emiri Momota) resort to sabotage and backstage seduction. High fashion, catfights and fuckfests: it's what's In Vogue.

Reviews

Bienvenue à Paris, wannabe model Kelly Collins who doesn’t even speak French, pauvre bébé. Her pretty-girl portfolio isn't enough to make a splash—no experience, no confidence, no gigs—but at a bar she's pretty enough to catch the eye of Marco Bull, who takes her back to his place. Their one-on-one set-to is interrupted by Apolonia Lapiedra, fresh from a shower upstairs. Lapiedra asks Bull, "Where did you find her?" ("The usual") and asks Collins if she's a model ("Not yet") before dropping the towel to initiate Collins into the customs of haute couture modeling in the City of Light.

Collins wakes the next morning to coffee and a pep talk from Lapiedra, who is a recruiter for a modeling agency. "It's not going to be easy, and there's a lot of competition ... the question is: Are you ready?" Collins signs on the dotted line.

Collins makes her first runway appearance with several other models, nude but for shiny gold stickers, each striking a pose while being sized up by oh-so-cool golf-clapping black-clad shades-wearing spectators. Lapiedra tells Collins she's made it and then Collins and the other models are summoned to an afternoon party where the models competitively side-eye each other as they try to make connections. Alone in a bedroom, Vanessa Alessia short-circuits agency honcho Vince Karter's sweet-talk, putting a hushing finger across his lips and whispering, "Just fuck me."

The rivalry between the models for a face-of-VMG contract escalates with Alessia missing out on a shoot because she can't find her lucky lipstick, so Christy White winds up running the familiar hot model/horny photographer scenario instead, with Jack Rippher. When Alessia finds her lucky lipstick in Collins' purse, she strikes out and lipsticks an angry line across Collins' face.

At a club, Karter chats up Emiri Momota, reassuring her, "Keep up the good work," leading to Momota flashing back to recent lost-opportunity moments with Karter (and when she stole Alessia's lucky lipstick and stashed it in Collins' purse), and closing a deal with Karter herself. When the five strut their stuff in Vixen-branded lingerie, White gets the nod to be the new face of VMG, but it's Collins who celebrates with Karter and Bull.

In an epilogue, Collins reflects that she now has a rival in Alessia, but that's okay because it'll keep her on her toes "and if she ever fucks with me again—I'll push her right back!"

A treat for the eyes, with AVN Award-nominated art direction and hair and makeup complementing Paris locations and interiors, luminous photography, and just enough plot to keep the mind occupied. Also nominated for the 2024 AVN Awards as Best International Production, Best International Anal Sex Scene for the Vanessa Alessia/Vince Karter go-round, Best Intrnational Boy/Girl Sex Scene for Emiri Momota and Vince Karter, and Outstanding Directing – Individual Work for director Julia Grandi.
