Funny Face is a 1957 American musical romantic comedy film. Maggie Prescott is a fashion magazine publisher, who is looking for the next big fashion trend.

Maggie wants the look to be both ‘beautiful’ and ‘intellectual’. She and famous fashion photographer Dick Avery want models who can ‘think as well as they look.’

Maggie and Dick take over Embryo Concepts, which is being run by the shy bookshop clerk and amateur philosopher, who thinks the fashion and modeling industry is nonsense.

What Jo wants more than anything else in the world is to go to Paris and attend the famous philosopher Emile Flostre’s lectures about Empathicalism.
