Statement of the problem: Subject lacks enthusiasm and repeatedly makes ho-hum sounds when entering her closet; unable to dress self.

Hypothesis: A fresh injection of the newly available Isabel Lu should alleviate the issue(s).

Materials: Various feminine silhouettes including but not limited to brushed silk tops and tunics, tailored linen trenches, tuxedo shirt and safari dresses, easy drapey dresses. Local R&D sister team Jane Moon and Sophia Kim provided approximately 200 pieces; some beading and embroidery may apply.

Procedure: Repeated exposure to the debut collection.

Results: Subject displayed slightly manic tendencies when tearing though the wardrobe; won’t stop shrieking with excitement. We were unable to pry the jumpsuit away from her.

Conclusion: Pretty darn impressive.
