Working in the high fashion world of early twentieth-century Paris, lovely Juliette Cladel falls in love with a young Russian count and sculptor, Nikolai Karsavin, but the young lovers soon find themselves separated by family duties, war, and revolution.
In the last opulent, extravagant years in Paris before the First World War, Juliette Cladel, a young French woman working in haute couture, and Nikolai Karasvin, a Russian diplomat, are brought together through their shared interest in the theatre work of the Spanish designer Mariano Fortuny. The chance discovery by Juliette of one of Fortuny's uniquely pleated, figure-hugging gowns, revolutionary at a time when women wore corsets and petticoats, provides a further bond between her and Nikolai when she wears it to their first dinner and it creates a scandal. Their turbulent love affair is shortlived, and circumstances separate Juliette and Nikolai when he returns to Russia. Juliette moves to Italy and marries another man.
