“Killer Couture” A gripping dark comedy film exploring greed and exploitation in the fashion world.

Description

DION
A young, eager intern at Oliver’s studio. Naive, hardworking, and desperate to prove himself as an original designer. Talented but inexperienced, Dion’s optimism makes him vulnerable in an industry built on ego and exploitation. He idolises the fashion world and believes hard work and originality will be enough to succeed. Dion begins innocent, eager, and positive, and gradually transforms into someone capable of dark actions when cornered.

MICAH
A young junior assistant in Oliver’s fashion studio. Talented, stylish, and seemingly confident, but jaded by the industry. Uses sarcasm as a shield. Has been in Oliver’s studio long enough to understand how exploitative and chaotic it is. Knows Oliver’s reputation, recognises the brand is failing, and understands that interns are disposable. Mocks Dion’s naivety out of jealousy for his optimism and innocence.

OLIVER
The antagonist. A designer whose career is slipping away. Manipulative and desperate to maintain control as he loses relevance. Swings between charm, cruelty, and predatory behaviour to keep people obedient. Sees Dion as easy to manipulate, while Micah barely registers to him.

LORENZO RICCI
A world-famous designer: theatrical, untouchable, and magnetic. Moves through the world with entitlement born from lifelong worship. Treats shock value as artistry and surrounds himself with sycophants, with no concept of boundaries. Both comic and terrifying. To Dion, Lorenzo represents everything glamorous and aspirational about the industry, while only a few see who he truly is.
