Having fortified himself against the cold with a few big gulps from his booze bottle Frank Falenczyk (Ben Kingsley) emerges into the winter wonderland of Buffalo, N.Y., to shovel the snow from his walk.

He opened his own label, Baila, in 1974 and then another signature label, Gianfranco Ferre, in 1978. It was there that he earned the nickname, the Frank Lloyd Wright of fashion, for his attention to form and structure and his use of innovative techniques such as laser cutting-. His fashion signatures - the billowing white shirt, or the structured pant suit - became favorites of Hollywood icons like Elizabeth Taylor and Julia Roberts...
