or projects in the wings anywhere?

Well, I think you'll find out about them

when the time is right...

but now I want you to meet

somebody very, very special.

Clint, come over here.

Clint Lammeraux,

meet Kitty Potter.

- I don't care about your luggage.

- I have to be here

to cover the fashion show.

- You'll have to find the lady

another room. Hey!

- This is my... This is my...

Excuse me!

Where's my bag?

Where's my bag?

If you don't find my bag

soon, you're gonna hear from

the Washington Post. 2326.

Hey!

Hey!

Yes, and, uh, especially that.

Cotton, pharmaceuticals.

You name it.

Cobras, pythons,

uh, rattlesnakes, uh, ring lizards.

- Oh, sh*t!

- Oh. Heh-heh! Hey! Hey!

Hey, what're you do...

Ow!

- Let me in! Ow!

- Ow!

I'm on this line.

Yes, this is Joe Flynn. Listen

to me if you want to keep your job.

What do you mean you don't have

my bagage? I know goddamn well

you have my bagage!

If you think you can smoke me out of

here with that cock-and-bull story...

you're as full of sh*t

as a Christmas goose!

As full of merde as a c... canard de...

Yes, hello. This is Anne Eisenhower,

as in General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Yes, that's correct.

Ex-President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

No, I know he's

not registered here. I am!

No, I don't want to talk to the manager

again. I have talked to the manager.

I want the owner.

I think this hotel is owned by Sony

or some Japanese company.

I wonder what time it is

in Tokyo.

I wonder how long it'll take them to get

you out of my room, Mr Joe Flynn.

- Oh, thank you. Could you help me with

these bags? I'll be checking in here.

- Of course.

Oops! Sorry.

- Excusez-moi. I believe you have a

reservation for, uh, Louise Marshall?

- Marshall?

- Field. Louise Field.

Whoops!

Major! Oh.

Good-looking guy, huh?

Well, bonjour. And I'm standin'

here with the one, the only...

Elsa Klensch.

- Thank you, Kitty. How are you?

- How are you doin'?

- I'm fine, darling.

- Thank you so much for doin' this.

Um, what's goin' on

in fashion for the '90s?

Well, this is the most important time,

the most important week in fashion.

This is where everything

happens, really, for the year.

Let me ask you this: Did you get

any good scoops this mornin'?

Yes, but, uh...

Oh, she's savin' it

for her own show, folks.

What the hell is this?

Operator? Splendide Hotel,

please.

Let's begin again

Let's begin again

- Agh! Hello? Yes?

- Louise? Goddamn it, Louise!

You left a pair of skivvies

in my suitcase. You gotta

be careful about that stuff.

I don't know how that happened.

I'm very sorry, and I won't

let that happen again.

I'll be much more careful.

Whew! I... You... I'm sorry!

And listen. Since when

are you so talkative?

- You were talkin' to everybody

at the airport.

- I didn't talk to anyone, honey.

- You even started to talk to me.

- Hardly anyone at all.

You would've blown our cover. We gotta

be careful, honey. Very, very careful.

- You understand?

- I'm very sorry.

I will be more careful. Okay?

My darling, do you miss me?

Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

- How was Milan?

- Well, I'll tell you. I got

the surprise of my life there.

You know, I know a lot

about fashion, and we all know

that short skirts are back.

And short skirts are gonna be back

for the rest of the '90s, that's my bet.

Well, I've seen pleated skirts;

I saw A-line skirts;

I saw sarong skirts.

But then, suddenly,

the pouf skirt emerged.

- Now, you must remember

Lacroix's pouf skirt?

- Mmm.

- We were poufed and poufed and poufed.

- Mm-hmm.

Well, it could be that

we're gonna be poufed again

before the turn of the century.

- Will you be poufed?

- I doubt it.

- Arrete!

- Stop. Stop.

At the moment...

Just going to take a look.

- Stop.

- Arrete, s'il vous plait.

Tomorrow is the first

day of the pret-a-porter collections.

What suite is Regina Krumm in?

Regina. Uh, uh,

Foest Street.

- Foest?

- Yes, Foest Street.

- You mean, Faust? The Faust Suite.

- Faust! Yes, the Faust Suite.

Oh! That's supposed

to be my suite.

What suite is Nina Scant in?

- The Solomon Suite.

- Solo... You mean the Salome Suite.

- The Salome Suite.

- That's the suite that

I'm supposed to be in.

- Well, this is your suite.

- No, no! This is not my suite.

This is the Faust Suite.

I'm supposed to be in the Salome Suite.

- I'm not in the Salome Suite.

You get on the phone right now.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Get on the phone and tell them

that I want to be in the Faust Suite.

- Faust Suite.

- It's what I asked for. I don't

want to be in the Salome Suite.

- This is the wrong suite.

I'm supposed to be in the Salome Suite.

- The wrong suite.

- You're supposed to be

in the Salome Suite.

- You just set those things down.

Put everything down. Just put it down,

because this is not my suite.

- Oh, Regina.

- Nina.

Oh, my God.

Here we are again.

Here we are again.

It's unbelievable; it seems like we were here just a second ago.

- I know. I feel like I have deja vu.

- Oh!

- Can you believe the

construction in this city?

- No! It's wild!

- What are they doing?

- Well, it must be an awful

lot of maintenance...

- in a city like this.

- Oh, my God, the plaster dust!

You know, it just goes

right up my nostrils. It's incredible.

Yes. It's horrid, isn't it? Now,

are you going to the embassy tonight?

- Oh, yes, of course.

- Well, my darling, I shall...

see you... there.

- All right. Bye-bye.

- Get some rest.

Bonjour.

Monsieur, bonjour, bonjour.

- Forget.

- Come with us.

Bonjour.

Chauffeur.

That's him. That's the man.

See? That's his coat,

his pants.

We know

what he wore. We don't know who he is.

We're coming to you live from

the historic Pont Alexandre in Paris...

where Olivier de la Fontaine...

head of the la Chambre de Syndicale

de la Mode de la Haute Couture...

which is French fashion's

governing body...

has been murdered

in the back of his limousine.

Eyewitnesses report a stocky

man, possibly mid-60s...

exited the car as it stopped

in traffic, fleeing the scene...

by plunging headlong

into the Seine.

He's believed drowned. If not,

he has surely died of pollution.

- Excuse me.

- -This is a shocking prelude to the pret-a-porter collections...

the glittering spectacle

Olivier de la Fontaine...

choreographed each season

for a cast of thousands.

This was Sandra de la Notte

for SKY News.

From the SKY satellite network...

You still here?

this is SKY News.

It's gonna be a group designer photo.

Um, most everybody's gonna be there.

- All the designers are gonna be there?

- Pretty much everybody.

I've got Cerruti, Rykiel,

Westwood, Montana, Agnes B.

- You don't know these people.

- Well, they said they're

gonna be there. Uh...

Simone Lo will probably not be there.

She may not even show her collection.

- Are you serious?

Simone is a greedy b*tch!

- Cort?

- Don't say such things.

- It's true.

Simone Lo's collection is little

more than crematorium couture.
