Prior to "Fashions for Women", Arzner had not directed a thing. "In fact I hadn't told anyone to do anything before," she said. The film starred Esther Ralston and was a commercial success. Arzner's success led Paramount to hire her as director for three more silent films, "Ten Modern Commandments" (1927), "Get Your Man" (1927), and "Manhattan Cocktail" (1928), after which she was entrusted to direct the studio's first talking picture, "The Wild Party" (1929), a remake of a silent film which Arzner herself had edited.
