Background: This season's "hot-pants" are causing the biggest fashion controversy since the advent of the mini-skirt. Our film shows that even Britain's Royal dress-maker, Norman Hartnell, has entered the arena -- though he denies that the Queen will wear any of the three hot-pants suits he showed in his collection in London today (Wednesday February 10). However, his collection -- and the girls who wear it -- are worth looking at.
