...raincoats. Tia, in a silvery bolero thrown over a gray cotton tank and white pants, is finishing up a resort collection inspired by Lulamae Barnes, the poor Southern child bride who goes on to become Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Bouquets of spearmint from Fiona's garden adorn drafting tables, and the staff members' afternoon snack consists of cupcakes, iced expertly in shocking pink by Fiona's daughter Bella. It's hard to imagine how an ordinary Xiamen resident would react if he or she walked into the studio by accident...
...discreet is this steady creep toward Talibanism that it only hit me last week, after a visit to the beauty salon. Usually, framed photos of coiffed brides adorn the walls, but I arrived to find the coffee-colored walls blank, save a clinical advertisement for fungus-fighting nail polish. Authorities had raided the salon two weeks prior, declaring images of unveiled women illegal and demanding they be taken down.

On placards bearing identifying names like Messerschmidt, swastikas prominently adorn tail wings. On the planes themselves, however, those haunting emblems have been effaced completely, painted over by a conscientious curatorial staff.When I first visited Germany a few years ago, someone pointed out the conspicuous absence of any symbols of nationalism. Having witnessed the profusion of stars and stripes...
...With their tactile, outside view of country, it's fitting that Thomas' successors adorn the front of the Australian building. Painted to the left of the front doors is Paddy Bedford's Thoowoonggoonarrin, the former stockman's maternal homeland. In tones of blue-black and pinky-white, his diamond-sharp eye excavates the land from above. Raised in relief across three storeys of the fa?ade above are the jimbala spearheads of Lena Nyadbi's paternal country. These spearheads were also used to tattoo the skin of young initiates, and even from oceans away, the architects could feel the artist...
