Skin Deep

The scandals, secrets and cruel ambitions under the glossy veneer of the Australian fashion industry ...

Prepare yourself for an eye-opening look at Australia's fashion and modelling scene in the mid-1980s, a cut-throat business where looks are everything and beauty is but skin deep. Featuring an early performance from Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman, Skin Deep explores the glossy lifestyle and scandalous drama that exists behind closed doors, where beauty is your brand and appearance is paramount.

Barbara Kennedy (Briony Behets) is a successful businesswoman cutting a career in the high-stakes fashion and modelling industry. Facing arch-rival Vanessa Corey (Carmen Duncan) in an upcoming fashion designers' awards night, Barbara's handsome partner Cliff (James Smilie) is ready to propose marriage. But scandal is on the breeze when it is discovered one of her own fledgling models may in fact be her illegitimate daughter, smashing the spotlight and casting a shadow of doubt across preceedings.

A bubbly soap-infused drama replete with tales of cruel ambition, dark secrets and sexual exploits, Skin Deep also features Kate Fitzpatrick, John O'May, David Reyne and Bobby Limb.
