Angela Hill interviews New Orleans fashion experts David Rubenstein of the Rubenstein Brothers and Martha Radelat of Saks Fifth Avenue about what to expect for fall fashion that year. They discuss how the heat in New Orleans impacts fall fashion, how women are rebelling against fashion rules, and how everyone should have their own style. Both interviewees bring models to show a fall fashion look from their stores. The audience asks the experts for fashion advice including if light colors can be worn in the fall and how to dress to look slimmer and taller. Air date: October 12, 1989.
