And I know that she

is, is due any minute.

Uh, any possibility

that you might be here for her?

Well, I'm here to welcome the

press and, uh, the retailers.

I'm here to welcome you, Kitty.

I think it's going to be

a great season.

Well, we all know how Liza

just loves the spotlight,

so I was just wonderin'...

if maybe you could give us

a little... Just shed some light

on, on that subject for us?

Uh, uh, Olivier?

Olivier? Sir.

Uh, our new facilities,

I think, are sublime.

It's a giant step forward

for the Paris fashion.

The designers are thrilled.

- Well, I bet they are. Um...

- Um...

- Will you excuse me?

- Well... Uh... C-C-Could... Uh...

Well, there he goes...

with the absolute poise of

an architect's desk lamp.

Are you here for the pret-a-porter?

I'm with the Houston Chronicle.

I'm the assistant fashion

editor. My boss was supposed

to come, but she got sick.

And here we have

the Paris troika...

the three powers-that-be

in the world of magazine editing.

The unflinchingly fabulous

Sissy Wanamaker of Harper's Bazaar.

- Hi, Sissy.

- Hello, Kitty. Hello.

The unstoppably sophisticated

Nina Scant from British Vogue.

Lord, I've never heard myself described

like that before. Hello, hello.

And the relentlessly artistic

Regina Krumm from Elle. Hey.

- Uh, hey.

- Welcome to Paris, girls.

Merci.

Nyet.

I have the best art

director in a decade, maybe ever.

The best photographers, the top,

top models, the best writers...

- the best editors...

- But, I think I hear Elle's

belles right behind you.

Operative word

being "behind."

Ah, I'm not really interested

in jockeying for position.

I-I just think we're going through an

incredibly exciting, vital time at Elle.

A lot of articles about sex nowadays in Elle.

I think they're interesting.

They're very diverting, both

magazines, but I still think

Vogue is the final word, Kitty.

- Oh, I think Vogue...

- I think you'll have to agree

with me there. I have to go.

This was fun.

I, uh, suppose you

don't remember me. Major Hamilton?

- Marshall Field's, Chicago.

Fashion director?

- Oh, yes.

It's good seeing you.

I have a little bit of time.

Would you like a quick interview?

Oh, we really don't do

unscheduled interviews.

Oh, I don't mind.

I don't mind at all.

Hey, Milo. Milo, one minute.

- One minute. Hey. How are you?

- I'll be here if you need me.

- Kitty Potter? Kitty Potter.

- How're you doin'? Yeah.

We ready? We rollin'?

This is Milo O'Brannigan...

the most sought-after fashion

photographer in the business today.

Milo, you've had a lock on the look

of the '90s for decades now.

Um, how have you managed to stay

Robert Altman

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