I encourage to fortify your stomach and get past the first five minutes. I’m really digging this show, even though I know little or nothing about fashion. I have been interested in the complexities of the idea of collaboration with the Occupier*, and that is really what this series, at least the first three episodes, is about, though I’m sure I will learn something about French fashion in later episodes.
*on my first trip to Paris in 2014 a I toured the Normandy sites with a friend, and we hired a local to drive us around and narrate with added local history. In long conversations with him he first cryptically then more openly talked about his grandparents, who had been punished by neighbors for collaborating with the Nazis, but from his perspective were just trying to survive, and in their own way were able to help the cause by slowing things up at strategic times. He turned me on to some books and articles to read. I have relatives who died in the camps, so am not inclined to being charitable, but he effectively pointed out it is not a simple black and white issue.
