For the longest time on the adult scene, we've been lacking a director who's able to capture, consistently, the grace and power of beautiful, sexy women moving with the elegance of fashion models and loving each other and their men in the most alluring and sensual ways.

Enter Antonio Adamo, a fairly new name on the porn horizon who, rumor has it, spent several years perfecting his talents doing mainstream productions in Europe. What better place to showcase those talents than in a co-production between Penthouse (already a veteran producer of its own line of softcore all-girl video extravaganzas) and Private (the well-known Barcelona-based provider of hardcore features and vignette tapes that consistently snaps up awards on at least two continents)?

The admittedly-light story here has fair-complected brunette Kate More as a fledging fashion designer trying to break into the big leagues. Everyone tells her that the way to do this is to "be friendly" to various top photographers and others already  h high up in the industry.

Not a problem. Kate and her models have it covered -- with the help of Kate's assistant, Ava Vincent, the tape's sole American, who, sad to say, doesn't get to "be friendly" with anybody.

She's the only one who doesn't. Kate sends blond Genevievre and redhead Chanel around to photographer Nacho Vidal to show the gals's modeling abilities -- a major part of just about every scene in this tape -- before they strip him and get down to the real action. He takes Chanel in a near-vertical horsie ride before she sits on his cock; then Nacho repeats the procedure with Genevievre, but this time, the horsie and reverse cowgirl rides are anal. The action is flawlessly captured cinematographically, and intercuts in blue-ton during camera moves have been added in the editing process. Major kudos to both the editor and cameraman.

Chestnut-haired Wanda Curtis then demonstrates her own nautch dance for Leslie Taylor and Frank Gun (barely recognizable in his watch cap) before camping on Frank's peg, her hip movements belying how much she enjoys the experience. From that point, however, it's anal all the way, doggie style with one and reverse cowgirl with the other, 'til both studs enter her orifices simultaneously (the tape's only d.p.) with pops to her chest for a finale.

Finally, Kate herself joins the action in scene three, as she and Sophie Evans b.j. their dark target in a pool. Sophie spends most of her time being licked., while Kate gets banged standing up and spoon style, before getting her ass plowed in two positions.

The remaining five scenes of this non-stop pose-and-fuck-fest maintain the high quality of the earlier ones, and even the intercut two-couple pairings are so well handled that no loss of heat occurs during the back-and-forth switching.

In short, the anal action just doesn't stop through-out this feature, which successfully combines the world of fashion modeling with the hardest of hardcore action, all in lush settings that reflect both the care taken by director Adamo and the wherewithal that two major companies can afford to bring to a single feature film.

Besides pre-noms for Cinematography and Editing, Fashion is also on the early lists for Best All-Sex Film and Best Art Direction; and Adamo assures his place in the pre-nom Best Director category.
