Ready to Wear Page #5

---

A week from now, these editors,

journalists, photographers

and retailers...

will wear their battle scars, much

as they do their huge Prada handbags...

and their Vivian Westwood

platform shoes, as chic accessories.

Even a wisp of iron

like Regina Krumm...

the Lilliputian editor of Elle

Magazine, is here for the blood sport.

With 86 collections to view...

vision blurs and judgment

is occasionally impaired.

Wearing dark glasses

can't stop it, either.

There will be great lapses

in taste...

but there will also be

dazzling moments of rare beauty.

And I'll be everywhere at once!

That's Kitty Potter,

keepin' you posted.

When you're sick of life

from nine to five

And you're ready

to come alive

And you look

both high and low

And you can't find a trumpet

that blows

- Come on, baby

- Oh, shucks

Where the good times

never die

- Come on, baby

- Oh, shucks

Where the damsels gonna fly

Come on, baby

You can shake your

funky monkey 'til it cries

Polyvinyl acetate

Monkey gonna get high

- If you wanna get real freaky

Now's the time to try

- Come on

Get wild

Everybody up in the place

Get wild

- That's got a bad stain on it.

- D'accord.

Ooh, midnight is

where the day begins

Whither the couturier

in his metier, you ask?

And I answer right here

backstage at Christian Lacroix...

the artiste from Arles...

the saviour

of ready-to-wear deluxe.

- Christian, it was such

a beautiful collection, and so perfect.

- Thank you.

- What was perfect for you this morning?

- Perfection for me?

It doesn't exist. Never.

In fashion, we are never satisfied.

Well, let me ask you something.

The photo prints of the models

and the faces were just wonderful.

How did you come up

with that idea?

Now the fashion is,

uh, starting from the media...

from magazines and from models.

And, uh, I wanted to

put them in the street...

because, uh, I want people to be

a little bit disturbed, and, uh...

they don't know where

is reality:
fashion...

magazine, media, models, girls,

real girls. I wanted to mix all of that.

- Merci beaucoup, madame.

- See you later.

- Thank you. Bye.

- Au revoir.

- Is she going ahead with the show?

- Well, of course.

It is our business, after all.

Will she actually be there herself?

Simone.

Everything is okay?

Bernell, it's Anne, and I'm just calling

to say everything is great in Paris.

- I'm in the hotel. I got all the

schedules, all the invitations...

And, so, that's it. If you

need to call me, just remember

the time change. Okay, bye.

Imagine... something new.

Something new.

- Something new.

- Madame. Monsieur.

Votre signature, s'il vous plait.

Imagine.

Merci. Au revoir.

You know, this is, uh,

a really unusual circumstance, and...

I just, I just hope

that you can...

forget about last night.

Um... I have a little...

problem with alcohol,

and, um...

Mm. Excuse me?

Hello? Hi.

Um. I-I-I...

Just...

I hope that you can be a gentleman,

and that we can just say...

what happened last night

never happened, okay?

Sure. No problem.

- No problem? Really?

- Yeah, whatever you want.

Just...

forgotten, like that? It's so easy.

- Yeah.

- That's great.

- Why, what? Am I supposed

to be crushed or something?

- No!

No! No, this is great.

This is just great. You know?

- Yeah. That's... great.

- Aw, c'mon, don't change the channel!

C'mon! Hey, hey, hey.

Aw, c'mon. Now, gimme back

the channel changer.

And you gotta come

And, Ruby, to none

She's gonna melt

Like we're in love

Just the same

Ruby, Ruby, how would you

Like a ghost

I'm gonna haunt you

Ruby, Ruby, ah

When will you be mine

When will you be mine

My Ru-u-u-u

Ah-ah-ah, when

When will you be mine Ruby

Ruby, when will you be mine

Simone.

Condoleances.

Condoleances.

That's... very nice.

But isn't it your show today?

Oh. That's

not important.

Our concern is for our friends.

Business will take care

of business.

I-I am so sorry for you.

I can feel your pain.

Simone, I have to

be honest with you.

Olivier and I were never

great friends, but you know that.

But to be murdered.

Strangled by a maniac.

It makes my flesh crawl.

But you!

You poor, poor dear.

You are truly the bravest

woman in Christendom.

You are so kind. Really.

Oh. Where's my crew?

Where's my camera? Oh, there you go.

I'm standin' here with

the handsomest man I know...

- Monsieur Gianfranco Ferre,

the Italian designer-in-residence...

- Yeah.

at the venerated old French

house of Christian Dior.

Gianfranco, bravissimo.

- Such refinement...

- Thanks a lot.

You speak Italian so well.

Such refinement.

What inspired you this time?

Well, it's the energy

that a woman needs in these times.

I try to do my best.

I love women.

I like to make fantasies

with women. But, uh...

I always figure what she does,

how she moves, which way she can move.

That's a great thing. But she can make

her wardrobe with different pieces...

without throwing them away

season after season.

Sure, she can make her own

new traditions in the...

with the freedom

that she needs.

Simone!

- I know this has been a...

- great shock to you.

Condoleances.

You lost your man. And I know you're not

gonna wanna hear what I got to say...

but...

Olivier?

He was not a nice man.

There, I've said it. It's over,

it's done, it's finished, it's gone.

I mean, I could tell you

stories about him...

that would make you

want to scream.

God knows, you're better off

without that man.

I mean, he did not deserve you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

He did not deserve you.

Believe me,

you'll get over him.

You're a strong woman.

Right?

Yes, I'm a strong woman.

Merci beaucoup, a bientot.

Keep the change, mon ami.

Whoo!

Ooh-la-la!

S-s-s...

Hi.

Um, do you have this

in larger sizes? This green?

- It's beautiful.

- Yes. It is a medium.

A 14 or an 18. Big.

This stretches, right?

Yes. Is this for you?

The number

of the coroner. Look... No.

No, no, no. Monsieur.

Monsieur, imagine...

- Hey! That's my jacket.

- That's your jacket?

That was my jacket.

That guy had my jacket on.

That must've been the guy

that t-took my... my suitcase.

- So, Issey Miyake stole your suitcase.

- No, not...

The checkered thing.

It was my jacket.

I don't know that

Issey Miyake's really...

your...

your way to go.

Checkered? Hmm.

I think J.C. Pennee...

is more your designer.

Simone?

Lowenthal herself

described her lover as...

a sycophant

and a purple panderer...

storming out of Pamela Harriman's

dinner party...

at the American Embassy

only last Tuesday...

prompting the New York Post

headline:

"Simone, How Lo Can You Go?"

Jack Lowenthal,

son of the designer...

lost control

of the business in 1990.

Stay here. I'll just

be a moment. Pilar?

- Simone?

- Simone?

Pardon.

Ah, Simone. Hello.

- Oh, I know this must be

a very awkward time for you...

- Oh, it's okay.

but I so wanted to introduce

Clint Lammeraux to you.

Clint is a gigantic fan
