CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: With the chill in the air, you're likely dreaming of spring and summer. But the focus is all about working at girls sashaying, we should say, because it's Fall Fashion Week in New York City.
Jason Carroll takes us down the fashion runway.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is the No. 1 label for young people.
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG, DESIGNER: My mood was a man's life in a woman's body.
JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Celebrities, music, models, expensive clothes and $260 million worth of revenue for New York City. It must be Fashion Week. The styles for fall 2003 ready for review.
James Bond inspired Diane von Furstenberg's latest collection.
FURSTENBERG: My James Bond woman, her weapon is her suitcase.
CARROLL: Translation? She's armed with tailored suits, soft fabrics and deep colors.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She really cares about a woman's (UNINTELLIGIBLE).
CARROLL: Emerging designer, Luella Bartley, took an edgier approach and an '80s influence.
LUELLA BARTLEY, DESIGNER: It's not '80s kind of power woman. It's the dark side.
CARROLL: Translation again? Oversize everything -- sweaters, jackets. And remember those big '80s shoes? But this may be next season's exception and not the rule.
ANNA WINTOUB, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, "VOGUE": Oh, I think things are going to be very sheik, I think they're going to be more tailored.
CARROLL: It wasn't the '80s, but the '60s that influenced John Varvatos. Rich colors and tailored lines in his men's wear collection.
JOHN VARVATOS, DESIGNER: It's kind of a new elegance. It's kind of a new kind of renaissance in dressing.
CARROLL: Simple, classic, but not enough to get a supermodel's attention.
LIVA, MODEL: I think it's boring for the men.
CARROLL (on camera): Oh, what, this is boring? This is not boring. This is jeans, I'm comfortable.
LIVA: Well, yes, comfort is never the word.
CARROLL (voice-over): Comfortable and not boring. Puff Daddy says his collection is both.
PUFF DADDY, DESIGNER: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) to the direction, my underwear are black, my pants are black, my shoes are black, my socks are black.
CARROLL: Black parkas, white bombers, and a little leather just for the ladies, Puff introduced women's wear for the first time.
MACY GRAY, SINGER: I thought it was great. I thought it was like definitely a new level for (UNINTELLIGIBLE) fashion.
CARROLL: Over the top? Maybe. So, whether it's '60s, '80s, Bond or the bomb, Fall 2003 has something for everyone.
