Véronique Lanier runs one of the most highly rated haute couture houses in Paris. Her first partner is her husband Pierre, who has left aside a promising artist career to design the styles which make their firm a success. The trouble is that Véronique lives only for her job and does not allow herself -and her husband for that matter - a moment's respite. In Cannes, Pierre meets Wanda, a young singer with strange, fascinating eyes. The frustrated husband falls for her but gradually realizes that the light mercurial creature cannot possibly fulfill him. Véronique, feeling miserable, understands she is on the wrong track. She promises Pierre that she will make efforts to reconcile work and married life. Véronique and Pierre will live and work together again, each one forgiving the other for their faults.

Très occupée à satisfaire sa clientèle, Véronique Lanier, la directrice d’une grande maison de couture laisse son mari, styliste de mode, aller seul à Cannes présenter la nouvelle collection. Il a une aventure avec une jeune femme qui le rejoint à Paris. Très attachées à leur patronne, les mannequins de la maison de couture tentent alors de contrecarrer cette liaison. Finalement, le mari se rend compte de son attachement pour sa femme et elle, qui a cru le perdre, va essayer de consacrer plus de temps à sa vie de couple.
