KOHLE YOHANNAN
It's not just who's beautiful. It's do you represent the look and the value of the time.
MALE
Just like a girl, always thinking about new clothes. Now, there is just the opposite of what I mean by the know-how look.

Here she is, the single and fun loving and she spends money.
DAYLE HADDON
It's so shocking today. And I think for my daughter today, how normal, so much individuality and differentiation is. I was part of that movement, the bell bottom jeans and Jimmy Hendrix experimental, psychedelic drugs. It was always about learning and growing.
MALE V.O. 3
At the Metropolitan, fashion models walk through the art galleries wearing chic dresses in the same prints that are framed. Leading dress designers think the bigger, the bolder, the wilder the print, the more artistic the dress.
