Skin Deep is a 1985 Australian television film directed by Chris Langman and Mark Joffe and featuring an early screen appearance by Nicole Kidman. Set in the fashion industry, it was one of the few Australian films to be set in this milieu and was an attempt to do an Australian Dallas or Dynasty.
Barbara Kennedy is a successful business woman in the fashion and modelling industry. In the lead up to a fashion designers awards night, her boyfriend Cliff proposes to her. But then she realises that one of her own models is her illegitimate daughter, given up for adoption years earlier. She has a bitchy rival Vanessa. And a murderer is loose.
