She ventures into a virtual warzone, and fundamentalist religious strongholds where draconian laws forbid the simple things that make the fashion world tick - from flesh-baring to homosexuality. But fashionistas like the Pakistani Tariq Amin, and the Nigerian Lexy Mojo-Eyes, won't let bombs or eternal damnation get in the way of towering headdresses and trailing woven-grass gowns. Even the well-charted fashion territory of New York offers surprises, as Duboc uncovers a movement that's sprung up in response to the industry's ingrained body-tyranny.

Beneath the exuberant costumes and ironic commentary, Fashion Week Internationale is a deeply affecting journey, through a moral maze as intricate as the outfits themselves. During Phnom Penh Fashion Week, debauched oligarchs make mischief with cross-dressing zombies, oblivious to the scandal that is taking place a few streets away in the oppressive garment factories that keep Cambodia's export market afloat. How has this system evolved, in which thousands of unlucky bodies must be ruined in order to clothe the lucky few?

In Nigeria, the enthusiasm and originality of the designers is a symbol of hope amid widespread unrest and corruption. Here, as in Islamabad or the alternative "full-figured" scene in New York, fashion provides a powerful weapon to express political dissent or assert minority rights. But in the sweatshops of Cambodia, the plastic-surgery clinics of Colombia, and the gloomy lingerie aisles of Las Vegas, Duboc witnesses its equal power to degrade and enslave.
