The Purple Coat

Despite her mother's reminder that "navy blue is what you always get, " Gabby begs her tailor grandfather to make her a beautiful purple coat. LeVar visits the Fashion Institute of Technology and New York City's garment district to explore the fascinating world of design, and gets a coat specially made for him. Then we watch an artist who creates caricatures of people out of papier mache.
