of yours.

- In Texas we think of Simone Lowenthal

the same way we think of longhorns.

- Oh, how nice.

Clint, come over here.

- Oh, how interesting.

- What's interesting?

Your shoes.

Is that new?

No, I've had them for years.

But, speaking of shoes...

Clint has a gift for you.

Made in Texas, by Texans.

Oh. You put my logo

on these boots?

But who gave you

the permission?

Sorry, I'm in your seat.

My condolences.

- Nicola!

- Ah, Kitty.

- Wonderful to see you.

I don't think we've seen each other...

- Nice to see you.

- since the Volpi ball in Venice!

- Yes, I remember.

What's goin on at Trussardi's? How about

doin' a little interview with us?

Just... We rollin'? Tell us about

the new Trussardi attitude, Nicola.

- No interview, Kitty. Thank you.

- Nicola, just one word.

- No, thank you. Ciao.

- Just one word. Sh*t.

- So I would like, uh...

- Has anybody seen Violetta?

Then you put your base on?

Mmm.

What are you doing talking

on the telephone at a time like this?

For God's sake, Violetta,

we're about to start.

- I was only talking to my mother.

- Your mother.

Your mother is in Algeria. You were

talking to Africa at a time like this?

- Beautiful. I like that. Yes.

- You like that? Yes?

This is your best one yet,

you know?

- No doubt. No doubt about it.

- Thanks, Eve.

- It's... Wonderful. I like it.

- Who were you talking to on the phone?

- Who, me? Oh.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, just now...

- you were talking to somebody

on the phone, right?

- Yes, I was. I was.

- She's cute.

- Walk again.

- Yeah, well, who were you talking

to on the phone right now?

- Yes.

- Who was that?

- You know what? I love you

when you are jealous.

- Excuse me. I think... I do believe...

- I'm sorry.

- Oh. I do believe... Well! Hello.

- Hello.

- How are you? My name is Kitty Potter.

- Nice to see you.

Nice to see you as well.

I'm very upset. It was...

It's so su... sudden.

I'm so... Also, I...

I'm very sad for Simone.

The reaction I have is, uh...

absolutely personal,

and I can't talk...

about it on TV.

I'm not happy.

I'm just...

I just think that...

the Earth does not cry.

I saw him just, like,

two weeks ago...

and he was, uh, looking, uh, all right.

I think it's sad also

because of the organization.

I have a show starting

in a couple of minutes.

Here's the designer

and his wife...

- Violetta, revelling

in post-show euphoria.

- Violetta, Cort, it was great!

It was out of this world.

We'll never see it again.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Congratulations.

- Hello, darling. Unbelievable.

- Wonderful show.

What about the shapes?

Are they feminine?

Well, Kitty, I think...

that my ideal woman...

has a bust, waist and hips...

and she's not shy

of her shoulders.

I think... I think shoulders

are very fresh again.

And, of course, legs.

She doesn't

have to have legs...

but, oh, it's wonderful

if she does, don't you think?

- And it seems that she's also got...

- Excuse me.

- I'm putting this in your pocket.

I think you should read it...

- The bustle is back.

and then I think

you should call me.

Oh, my lord!

Albertine.

God, it's hot in there.

- Harry Belafonte. Harry!

- Yes, yes.

Gimme...

Give it to me.

- Mr Belafonte, can we do

an interview with Kitty Potter?

- Harry? Hey!

- Remember me? Great!

- Yes, I do.

Could we do that interview now?

Do you mind?

- Yeah, sure.

- Are we rolling?

I'm standing here with a gentleman

who needs no introduction, I believe.

- Hi.

- What brings you to Paris?

I'm here doing a film. It's about

Ronald Reagan becoming president again.

Nancy Reagan's running

the seat of government.

Ollie North is Secretary

of Health and Human Resources and, uh...

- Oh!

- Sidney Poitier is playing

the part of a black guy...

who takes over American Express.

What's goin' on?

Oh, my God!

Give her some room!

Give her some air!

Bedlam... Bedlam has... has broken out

here backstage at Cort Romney's show.

Isabella de la Fontaine has fainted.

She has lost consciousness.

- Her condition...

Is she dead? Is she dead?

- No, she's okay.

She isn't dead.

She is not dead.

I-I don't know her condition.

Has somebody called the medics?

Excusez-moi.

Uh, I-I didn't...

I didn't order that.

- What?

- Avec les compliments

de la direction, monsieur.

Compliments of the...

Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Well, listen. Listen. Do you know where

my laundry is? My clothes? The laundry?

Lavez moi.

...clothes, you know,

things taken from different places...

and putting them together,

like adding a little life.

Laundry?

Everything is close to the body.

Mmm.

- You believe in a very vivid line.

- Not quite.

Yeah, I like, you know, to-to

express the body, you know.

Tie-dye certainly

expresses an individual spirit

on everybody, you know.

Thank you for joining me

with Style. I'm Elsa Klensch.

Isabella de la Fontaine...

is in stable condition.

Stable condition.

She's being examined here right now.

Right now by a team of fashion doctors

here at the site of Cort Romney's show.

Madame de la Fontaine had just

rocked the fashion world...

by taking her husband's

symbolically vacant seat...

in the front row, wearing what fashion

observers could only speculate to be...

a vintage Dior dress, we think.

Until his untimely death...

Olivier de la Fontaine

was commonly known to be involved...

with Simone Lowenthal for most

of his duration through the marriage.

Oh, here she is!

She's lookin' mighty fine to me.

Hello!

Who made your dress?

Very nice accessory.

Yes, this is very good.

No. He doesn't even suspect,

but he's such a b*tch.

I mean, he's snoopin' through all my

things. He's goin' through my pockets.

He says we have to be careful.

Of course, I'm gonna get rid of

him. I just have to wait until

after the collection. Okay?

- I love you.

- I love you too. Bye.

- Could we do a little thing here?

Do you mind? Okay.

- Okay.

Okay, could we just have this

right here? Thank you. Thank you.

Anyway, I'm with the man

who gave us fetish fashions.

He gave us, uh,

pierced nipples and, uh...

Oh, I can't say that.

I don't think I can say that.

Anyway, tell me your... your ideas

on beauty, would you please?

I think there is

not only one idea of beauty.

I think there is a lot

of different kind of beauty.

And it's exactly what I try to show

in my different collection.

You know that there is different people

coming from, uh, different parts...

that has not the profile, Greek

profile or something like that,

but can be beautiful.

And I try to show, like,

a kind of, uh, tolerance...

where is that, uh, uh, you know, uh,

to be different, you can be...

and to be proud about it,

and to... to live like that.

Well, you heard it here from the

wizard of our Oz, Jean-Paul Gaultier.

And I'm Kitty Potter with FAD.

So, I got your note.

Well, I sort of had to

resort to that, you know.

You're so h-hard to get to with

all those people around you.

Robert Altman

Robert Bernard Altman (February 20, 1925 – November 20, 2006) was an American film director, screenwriter, and film producer.
