OSCAR WINNER
"Hello cruel world."
In 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, a young grifter named Estella is determined to make a name for herself with her designs.

One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella.
