New York City circa 1977. Raw, wild, dirty and oh so chic.. where anything goes and anything can be had. Nowhere is this more true than in the decadent world of the fashion industry. This is the backdrop for The Eyes Of Laura Mars.

Laura Mars is a top fashion photographer. But her images are more than just your average pretty picture. They are filled with sex and death and when her models begin turning up murdered in the most unsavory of ways, it becomes apparent that this is more than a case of life imitating art.

Starring Faye Dunaway, Tommy Lee Jones, directed by Irven Kirshner and produced by Jon Peters (the hair dresser that Barbara Streisand flipped her wig over) this film was rumored to have had just as much drama off screen as on.

With a fierce as all get out Studio 54 soundtrack, fabulicious couture by Halston and Valentino and photographs by the master himself, Helmut Newton, I’d be willing to forgive the film makers anything.
