The men charged with producing the industry's annual model change work behind elaborately guarded doors, are not supposed to breathe a word of their latest creations until that great day each fall when the new designs are finally unveiled in showrooms. This year the security is tighter than ever-since competition among the industry's Big Three is at fever pitch. For what next year...

Did Seymour hire a model to leave Harriet's offices-"clad only in blue tights"? Did he suborn witnesses to swear it was Harriet? These questions are not resolved. What is clear is the fact that Harriet was put into an insane asylum. New York in the '90s was no place or time...
