A documentary on the editor who spent five decades at the centre of fashion and spent most of them as the only Black man in the room. Through archive footage and the people who worked alongside him, it follows a career built on taste, nerve and an insistence that the industry widen. A portrait of influence, exclusion and the price of being first.

Eric Breen, Walker Dalton, Leslie Merlin, Peluso and Dane C. Reiley produced for SCAD Studios, with Paula Wallace, Colman Domingo and Raúl Domingo as executive producers, and the Savannah College of Art and Design presenting.
