REVIEWS

“Dressed tells a story you're unlikely to forget. Nary Manivong's tale, like his talent and ambition, is rare enough to stand out no matter how crowded the field.” - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS “Manivong allowed a camera crew to document his struggles to make samples, book models and find a location for his show on a peanuts budget of about $6,000. The resulting film, called “Dressed,” is a cautionary tale of just how disillusioning the path to becoming a designer can be, narrated by bountiful testimonials to that effect. The writer Lynn Yaeger, for instance, says “being a butcher would be more glamorous.” - THE NEW YORK TIMES“The film tells, at times cryptically, how Manivong overcame an abusive childhood and homelessness, ultimately finding his way to New York and a career in fashion.” - WOMENS WEAR DAILY
