"No,butyoulookatwhat" "Julie had to work with." "You know, and she's wearing this juvenile pajama pant." "Right." "Who would want to wear that print?" "Butyoucouldtakethat print and you could make it something wearable by making it darker, and then match it with a color that goes with something that's more sophisticated." "Notbrightyellow." "Iwasn'tso offendedbythe print." "It was the pant that went to south." "And it was the construction of the pant, actually." "Let'stalkaboutthe  designers that we do like." "We liked Anya."
