My new fancy-pants Imprint Blu-Ray set had a series of stills from this fashionable event, but I haven't seen this actual moving footage from the event before (unless it's squirreled away on another disc!)
This fashion show by Jean Varon is inspired by the popular TV series The Avengers.One of the models in a black catsuit throws a man down the runway. Avengers actor Patrick MacGee can be seen smiling int he audience.
Although the commentary says Diana Rigg is in the show the commentator is incorrect (original cataloguer's note)
