on top of everything?

Probably the same way

you have, Kitty.

Just hard work and believin'

in yourself, right?

Mmm. Taking advantage of

other people's insecurities.

Anyway, we'll

show it to Pilar.

So, does your mother

believe in the old adage...

that some women dress for men,

but most women dress for other women?

You know, my mother makes dresses

to celebrate a woman's body.

Dressing for men has never

particularly interested her...

although she's certainly

undressed for a few of them.

No. You know, the main

difference between men and

women in fashion is this:

Women make dresses for themselves

and for other women;

a man... makes clothes

for a woman he wants to be with...

- or, as in most cases,

for the woman he wants to be.

- Mm-hmm.

Are you married?

Mm-hmm. I'm married to Dane.

Come over here, honey.

Okay.

Dane, whoo-hoo.

Earth to Dane.

Jack, try and be

a little bit nice.

This is my wife, Dane.

These are her famous legs, and

this is her famous sister, Kiki.

- Hello. Fiona.

- Hey, how's it going? Hey, Fiona.

- Hi, I'm Dane.

- They share the same father, at least

that's what their agent tells us.

I made these clothes for your

old body, and now you couldn't

fit into them if I asked you to.

- Cy! Cy, it was not her fault.

- Am I crazy? Am I crazy, or what?

What of a "fault"? It's not a fault, you

f*ggot! You woman-haters! It's great!

- It's a big shock!

- Albertine, you could've

called me, right?

- I was in Germany.

- You could've called me.

Oh, oh, I am crazy, I am crazy!

Or did the goddamn Germans

invent the telephone?

They invented worse, okay? I wasn't

really sure I was going to keep it.

Look, you gotta be eight

and a half months pregnant.

I mean, if I was Lacroix

or was that thief Lagerfeld,

you would've called me, right?

- We'll get Eve; they are the same size.

- I hate her f***ing tattooed head.

- You're bald!

- Aren't I.

Uh...

Violetta.

- Yes.

- I can't deal with this girl.

- Well, I'll get rid of her.

- Albertine. Albertine's the one I want.

- Why can't I have Albertine?

- Albertine is pregnant.

The agency said she was pregnant.

Pregnant is not my silhouette

this season!

- Oh, I know.

- I mean, it is not.

It is not, it is not!

My bulge is in the bustle out

at the back, not in the bulge up front.

Bald tattoo is not part

of my vision. It's beyond deja vu.

We're freezing out here!

Oh.

Monsieur!

Monsieur, qu'est-ce que

vous faites?

Ah, mon Dieu!

- What? Are you joking?

- Pilar, the two

greys, it's not good, you know.

- Get me Ricardo Bonet...

- Hold on, please. Simone.

- Why is there no music today here?

- S'il vous plait.

- Simone, it's important.
