Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB
For all you set-jetters out there, a treat filmed right here on our doorstep. It’s 1930s Edinburgh and Miss Jean Brodie cuts a dash through the Marcia Blaine School for Girls. She has the frocks, she has her tenure, and she has a tendency to romanticise Fascism in class.
The Brodie Set are the focus of her devotion and energy, her girls are the crème de la crème. But overlooking Greyfrairs Kirk and on the banks of the Forth at Cramond, there is a snake in the grass… and the trousers.

Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB
Through the lens of fashion photographer Laura Mars’ camera she captures the extreme beauty of stylised violence by and against women. It’s controversial, but it’s made her the hottest creative talent in New York.
She can stop Broadway traffic with her shoots, but when she suddenly starts having startling visions of murder and mayhem, nothing is what it seems. NYC is a “kind of eerie, lavish dreamland” according to a New York Times review, perfect for a scissor thriller romance.

America’s Next Top Model? Well in this particular musical cycle, she’s to be found working in a Greenwich Village bookstore thinking that the fashion industry “is chichi, and an unrealistic approach to self-impressions as well as economics”.
Throw in one all expenses paid trip to Paris, the chance of meeting her idol, a noted philosophy professor and Audrey Hepburn is soon dressed head to toe in Givenchy declaring “I don’t want to stop. I like it. Take the picture.”
