1. 0:02No. And I've seen all this before.
2. 0:05Theyskens is trying to reinvent
3. 0:07the drop waist, so actually it’s— -Where are all the other dresses?
4. 0:10-We have some right here. And then Armani...
5. 0:12Stand, watch, and listen.
6. 0:13And I think it can be very interesting—
7. 0:15No.
8. 0:16-No, I just— It's just baffling to me.
9. 0:19Why is it so impossible to put together a decent run-through?
10. 0:22You people have had hours and hours to prepare.
11. 0:25-It's just so confusing to me.
12. 0:27Where are the advertisers?
13. 0:30We have some pieces from Banana Republic.
14. 0:31No, we need more, don't we?
15. 0:32Oh, this is—
16. 0:35This might be—
17. 0:35What do you think of—
18. 0:36Yeah, well, you know me.
19. 0:38Give me a full ballerina skirt and a hint of saloon and I'm on board.
20. 0:41Mmm.
21. 0:42But do you think it's too much like—
22. 0:43-Like the Lacroix from July?
23. 0:45I thought that, but no, not with the right accessories.
24. 0:47It should work.
25. 0:48Where are the belts for this dress—
26. 0:50Why is no one ready?
27. 0:53Here.
28. 0:54It's a tough call.
29. 0:56They're so different.
30. 0:58-Hmm.
31. 1:04Something funny?
32. 1:09No. No, no. Nothing’s—
33. 1:12You know, it's just that both those belts look exactly the same to me.
34. 1:16You know, I'm still
35. 1:18learning about this stuff and, uh...
36. 1:20“This...stuff?”
37. 1:24-Oh. Okay. I see.
38. 1:27You think this has nothing to do with you?
39. 1:30-You go to your closet and you select, I don’t know,
40. 1:34-that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world
41. 1:38that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back.
42. 1:42But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue.
43. 1:46It's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean.
44. 1:51And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that
45. 1:54-in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns.
46. 1:57And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent,
47. 1:59wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets?
48. 2:02I think we need a jacket here. -Mmm.
49. 2:05-And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections
50. 2:07of eight different designers.
51. 2:08And then it, uh, filtered down through the
52. 2:11department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic,
53. 2:16-casual corner where you no doubt fished it out of some clearance bin.
54. 2:19However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs.
55. 2:25And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice
56. 2:28that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact,
57. 2:31you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you
58. 2:34by the people in this room.
59. 2:36From a pile of “stuff.”
