The fall is so rapid that it seems like a bad dream. Just a moment ago, 16-year-old Nadja was a carefree, cheerful young girl, but shortly afterwards the horror follows: the older boy she falls in love with is a junkie who also drags Nadja into misery. Her wealthy parents learn in an extremely painful way about a world they had previously only known from hearsay: their search for their daughter literally becomes a journey into the underworld.

My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices.

Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
