Scene Two — The Backstage Rush Curtains breathe. Racks roll like tides as models step quick—heels clicking code on the concrete. Sophie dispatches final touches: a dropped vial of perfume, a misaligned strap, a flyaway strand of hair tucked and tamed. Voices overlay—designer’s directions, a model’s laugh, the stage manager’s count—until Sophie’s voice slices through: “Five, four…” The world narrows to the slit of stage light, and the collection becomes movement.
