This is a topic of perpetual interest, because fashion
is, after all, an endless replay. What is in fashion now has been in before
and will be out and then in again. Each generation chooses its own fashions
and rejects another's. Hair, swimwear, shoes, and that one unforgettable outfit
are all great topics for women and men to remember and talk about.

kit comprises:
Media Presentation on DVD with 8-page Guide in Binder. "In Agony & Ecstasy"
offers reflections on fashion as fashion offers reflections on our lives.
