Versailles ’73: American Runway Revolution follows the events leading up to the iconic fashion effrontery at the Chateau de Versailles on November 28, 1973 between American and French designers. The film recounts the event’s beginnings as a fundraiser orchestrated by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert and Palace of Versailles curator Gerald Van der Kemp, to raise money to restore the Palace of Versailles to the fierce competition that emerged between the lions of haute couture— Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, Pierre Cardin, and Emanuel Ungaro, and American designers—Anne Klein, Stephen Burrows, Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, and Halston to the ultimate upset when American designs outshined the French and forever changed the course of fashion history with great clothes and the tour de force, black models who sashayed down the runway.
