Thanks to good blogging reading (a tip of the needle to Erica B), I'll be watching Houston's PBS station KUHT/Channel 8 tonight at 8 PM for the
Secret World of Haute Couture
Margy Kinmonth takes a journey from Paris to New York and California to meet both designers and customers in this much talked about but little explained pocket of the fashion industry. Haute couture's traditional American customers are getting old and dying off now and fewer wealthy young women are taking their place to ensure its survival. She discovers how much has changed and surprisingly how much has stayed the same in this story of decadent decline.

7-26-07 Update -- First, no breaks. It's a straight-shot show. I didn't want to miss anything and towards the end was clicking the remote to check, "it is only an hour, right?" Right. Second, the program was great, but the stalker, er-reporter, will get on your last nerve towards the end.
