NEW YORK (AP) — “I always know, because I've lived life long enough, you can change things," Bethann Hardison said at the start of "Invisible Beauty,” a new documentary focused on her more than five decades in fashion.
“She has changed the way beauty is defined.”Hardison co-wrote and co-directed the film with Frédéric Tcheng ("Halston," “Dior and I”).
TCHENG: I didn't know who Bethann was when I was asked to do a short film when she received the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Founder's Award (2014).
She’s really changed the way fashion looks.
I think the fashion model might be here to stay, but I have my foot on the clutch, just in case.
