...another ring at Altman's circus, Terri Garr shops to satisfy husband Danny Aiello's hankering for duds he just can't wear in the rust belt. Though Aiello looks smashing in a powder pink Chanel suit, the story, like so many others in "Ready to Wear," is dropped like a bad hemline and we never see them again...
...fashion doyenne played by Lauren Bacall? That she is color-blind, and that her friends apparently don't tell her she's wearing shoes of different shades. Why is Danny Aiello, as a buyer for a Chicago store, in the film? So he can cross-dress in a Chanel suit. At 60, Loren looks great, in or out of her array of glorious millinery, but it's cruel to have her and Mastroianni reprise the strip-tease scene from Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow with a cheap new punch line.

In fact, Sander's style is even more spartan than Armani's, her palette even narrower; her detractors would argue that her look is far more severe and somber. "She is one of those designers other designers laugh at," says Joan Weinstein...
...late Robert Mapplethorpe's erotic photos, it has nothing fresh to say about culture wars, Republican hypocrisy, women's self-imposed lack of liberation or any of its other thematic targets. Its best lines concern the clothes sense of upper-class women ("Don't you ever feel like Chanel is really all you can count on?") or the self- absorption of their husbands ("Cuddling? There's hell on earth. How do you know when you're done?") A gay male art pornographer and a lesbian ex-con, gurus to dimwit straights, induce a conservative presidential hopeful to striptease, his wife...
