World of Fashion

World of Fashion is a Victorian-era dramedy written by John Oxenford, adapted from Eugene Scribe and Ernst Legouvé’s play 'Les doigts de fée' (1861). The story follows an impoverished young noblewoman who shocks her aristocratic family by choosing to work, adopting a false identity to become a renowned couturier in Paris. The play explores themes of mistaken identity and romantic misunderstandings as the protagonist navigates her new life while reconciling with her relatives and her love interest, Adolphe.
