Synopsis
Josefine lives in her wealthy uncle's house, but is sick of being treated by him like a servant. Her friend Bianka Terry manages to secure her a job working at the fashion house run by the proud Herr Milander. After she clashes with him, she leaves and sets up her own fashion house with the financial assistance of Bianka. Unknown to both her and Milander, the money is actually coming from his account.
