An attorney is accused of murdering a powerful man after having an affair with his sultry wife.

Frank Faust is a born loser. At some point it even becomes too much for his great love, Jennifer, who leaves him and flees to Munich. Frank's desperation is the best reason for Mephisto to show up and offer a suitable pact: reconciliation with Jennifer in exchange for Frank's soul. Shaken by his predicament, Frank finds it easy to agree to the hellish proposal. In order to win back his renegade lover, Mephisto transforms himself into a wide variety of prominent contemporaries who appear at Frank's side and publicly praise his qualities - especially for Jennifer to hear. The plan seems to be working perfectly, unless Mephisto suddenly reveals a completely new side to his personality...

Thierry Mugler chose the catwalk as the venue for his 20th anniversary party at the Cirque d’Hiver. That it was OTT was given: Mugler was a showman who went on to design costumes for the movies and, yes, the circus. The “scalpel-cut and aerodynamic details” that Vogue once credited him with were evident in the collection’s tailoring, but the show was memorable more for its performance by James Brown; its cameos by the likes of Tippi Hedren, Patty Hearst, and Veruschka; and its rather liberal use of fetishistic latex. And we haven’t even gotten to the silvery cyborg getup, later famously photographed by Helmut Newton, that was revealed when a model shed her floor-length coat. A frightening and tantalizing image for the dawn of the Internet age, and a fitting end for this list of the nineties’ most unforgettable fashion shows.
