Ronnie Scheib Variety 02/09/2011
Stretches 30 minutes of material to 79 through sheer repetition, both verbal (endlessly redundant talking heads) and visual (flashy montages replete with tangential catwalk imagery). Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 02/04/2011
2.5/5
Even those viewers who share the film's conviction that preparing a collection for New York Fashion Week is inherently fascinating may lose interest long before the final frock is fitted. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 02/04/2011
2/4
"Dressed" is an uplifting story to be sure, but director-producer David Swajeski doesn't do it justice. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 02/04/2011
There's an affecting tale of career aspiration in the middle of this somewhat limited, repetitive documentary about the fashion business. Go to Full Review Marshall Fine Hollywood & Fine 02/04/2011

03/03/2011 Fantastic documentary about what it's REALLY like starting a fashion brand. Nary now has a new investor in Ally Hilfiger, so I hope the sky is the limit for their new line, called NAHM. Did I mention that he is from my same hometown, Columbus, Ohio? Go bucks! See more Read all reviews
