Lavish mini-series Flair took us into the world of Tessa Clarke, a fashion designer, who returns home to Australia from America intent on becoming a major player in the Australian fashion industry.

Her success leads to bitter jealousy amongst her rivals and she also has problems when a one time employee, Pamela Winter-Smith manages to win a court case claiming back her designs.

Very much in the Dynasty-Return to Eden mould and also owing a big nod to the UK series Connie, Flair also had a big USA presence in the cast with both James Healey and Heather Thomas. Despite rating well the critics hated it of course.
