- Hi, I'm Raissa Bretana and I'm a fashion historian.
- [Announcer] So walk us through what "Air" got right and mostly right about these looks.
- The film is set in 1984. It's centers around a Nike employee named Sonny Vaccaro who revolutionized the sports marketing industry by signing NBA rookie Michael Jordan to a landmark deal.
Costume designer Charlize Antoinette Jones chose to highlight the subtler side of the 1980s in "Air" which felt right for a story largely set in a business casual office environment.
