After the Ball (2015)

After the Ball is a modern retail fairy tale spun with the threads of haute couture and family drama. Fresh from fashion school in New York City, Kate Kassell, brimming with talent and ambition, finds her dreams stonewalled. Her aspiration to design for couturier houses is thwarted by her pedigree — being the daughter of Lee Kassell, a retail tycoon notorious for marketing designs "inspired" by the very houses she yearns to work for. The fashion world, a catwalk of sequins and stilettos, deems her a potential spy, leaving her with no choice but to join her father's Montreal-based empire, Kassell. In the opulent corridors of Kassell, designs are cheap knock-offs of couture, and the company is struggling to regain its past glory of affordable yet thrilling designs, particularly after the demise of Kate's mother. The reins of Kassell now rest largely in the hands of her cunning stepmother, Elise, and her two clueless daughters, Tannis and Simone. Kate finds herself navigating a maze of deception, with Elise hell-bent on promoting her own daughters as chief designers, even if it means pushing Kate to the brink of resignation or finding a reason to fire her. Amid this whirlwind of intrigue, Kate's godmother, Bella Shapiro, proprietor of a vintage clothing store, 'After the Ball,' and her flamboyant friend Richard, concoct a daring, gender-bending plan to showcase Kate's talent. Under the guise of "Nate," a fashion-forward designer seeking a job at Kassell, Kate must prove her worth and expose Elise's sinister intentions, all while keeping her identity hidden from Daniel Valjean, Kassell's charismatic head shoe designer and her blossoming love interest. As Kate navigates this intricate dance of deception, she must unravel Elise's deeper, darker plans, save her father's company, and, in the process, prove that in the world of fashion, everyone has the right to wear a fabulous dress. This enchanting journey of ambition, love, and betrayal is sure to have you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting to see if Kate can reclaim her rightful place in the fashion world After the Ball.
