- You really think so?

I thought the smile

might be similar to hers.

Hey, you!

You with the camera! I know you.

- Who, me?

- I know who you are.

Give me that camera!

Stop her!

Come back with that camera!

Stop her!

She's got my camera!

Stop that girl!

Oh, mon Dieu!

There it is.

Olivier de la Fontaine...

president de la Chambre Syndicale

du pret-a-porter de la Haute Couture...

for the past 28 years...

has merely choked

on a ham sandwich...

leaving the Paris fashion world

stunned and saddened.

This guy wasn't even murdered.

- He choked on a sandwich.

- This is Sandra de la Notte...

What a waste of time.

A complete waste of time.

So, what do you think?

I feel like I've grown

since I met you.

So, what would you, uh,

write about...

this charming ensemble

in your column, Anne?

I'd say it's, um...

very... pret-a-porter.

You look great.

Thank you.

So...

So.

I really had a great time.

Me too.

- If you, uh...

- I think your, um...

It was very nice to meet you,

Mr Joe Flynn.

It was very nice meeting you

too, Miss Anne...

Uh, Nixon?

Eisenhower.

This has been nice.

This has been good for us.

If he was the only photographer

available, and I suddenly had...

This is Simone Lo.

The collection

you are about to see...

presents two decades...

of an emerging vision.

- For me, it's the closing of a circle...

and the beginning

of something new.

Something new.

New.

New.

You're so pretty

the way you are

You're so pretty

the way you are

And you have no reason

to be so, he said to me

You're so pretty

the way you are

No, no-o-o

You can say it

if you want to

But you won't change me

No, no-o-o

You can say it

if you want to

But you won't change me

You're so pretty

the way you are

You're so pretty

the way you are

And you have no reason

to be so, he said to me

You're so pretty

the way you are

No, no-o-o

You can say it

if you want to

But you won't change me

No-o, no-o-o

You get to say it

if you want to

But you won't change me

No-o, no-o-o

You get to say it

if you want to

But you won't change me

- No-o, no-o-o

- Rollin'?

- This is Kitty Potter...

- You can say it if you want to

- live from Paris at Simone Lo's defile.

- But you won't change me

- Well! What can I say?

- No-o, no-o-o

Simone Lo

has shown us everything!

I mean, I don't know how much of this

is gonna be on TV or anything...

but, it's... it's...

it's so new.

I mean, it's, uh, it's so old.

I mean, it's, uh...

I mean, she shows it like it really is.

It's, uh, it's so old,

it's true.

It's so true, it's new.

It's the oldest new look.

It's the newest old look.

It's... It's...

Simone Lo has

created a... a new, new look...

for every man, woman and child.

And they can all afford it.

It's called the "bare look."

So, hooray for Simone Lo.

What the hell

am I talkin' about?

I mean, wh-wh... For Christ's sake,

wh-wh-what is goin' on here, really?

Can you tell me

what's goin' on on this planet?

Th-this is f***in'

fruitcake time.

I mean, is that fashion? Is it?

I mean, is there a message out there?

I mean, you got a lot of naked

people wanderin' around here.

I mean, I been forever trying to

find out what this bullshit is

all about, and you know what?

You know what?

I have had it. I have had it.

Goodbye. Au revoir. Sophie,

you got yourself a career.

- Qu'est-ce qu'on fait? On y va?

- Vas-y, vas-y.

Come on.

On y va.

This is Sophie Choiset for FAD-TV.

In May 1968, the great couturier

Balenciaga closed his atelier forever...

because, he said,

"There is no one left to dress."

It appears

Simone Lo believes the same.

She has just shown us

a celebration of fashion...

in the profoundest sense

of the word.

She has made a statement here today

that will be felt for decades to come.

She's made a choice that will influence

all designers everywhere.

And most of all, she has

spoken to women the world over...

telling them

not about what to wear...

but how to think about what

they want and need from fashion.

This is Sophie Choiset in Paris

for FAD-TV. Ca va?

One is bigger than the other one.

Okay, go on. Put the diapers

on the kids, will you?

Mama!

Come on, Winnie.

All right. I guess just

about here is about right.

Okay. Try it there.

- Bring this here?

- Hi, sweetie.

- The shadow and the sun?

- Okay, let's go. Got it.

Here, here.

When he takes me in his arms

And whispers love to me

Everything is lovely

It's him for me

and me for him

Oh, la la

And it's so real

What I feel

This is why

La vie

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

Ohhh

Ahhh

La vie-ie-ie

Ahh

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

La vie en rose

Ahh

Ha
