Fashion Week with Nanette Lepore
Story aired: Wednesday, September 17, 2003



If you wear clothing, and most of us do, you're making a fashion statement. While that statement is often hard to discern, it is your billboard to the world.

This week, models and designers from around the world have come to New York to declare their fashion statements with the fervent hope that someone will notice.

It's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and it comes two years after the terrorist attacks threw the fashion industry into a major economic and emotional slump.

Designer Nanette Lepore joins Here and Now to discuss how the soul of clothes is doing.

Guests:


Nanette Lepore, fashion designer.
