...popular with many Latin men. But the market goes beyond the Latin customer base. Jennifer Lopez, who launched her JLo fashion empire in 2001, has a diverse clientele, as do some of the other brands. Says Feldenkreis: "Our brands have crossover appeal." Republica Trading Co., a small men's apparel brand founded by Rafael Jimenez, started out targeting a very specific Latin niche--Dominican ex-pats living in New York City's Washington Heights neighborhood--but has grown to envelop a much wider audience.

There's a good reason that the terms birdie and eagle are part of the golf lexicon and the word peacock is not.

Innovative designers such as Koi Suwannagate are "re-purposing" used apparel and fabrics--from 1920s silk slips to '60s men's sweaters--to create new collections. And major designers--like Prada, whose printed circle skirts for spring are unabashedly reminiscent of the '50s--are more overtly drawing on bygone decades for inspiration. The result of all this is that the past is now an inextricable part of present fashion--on the runway, on the red carpet and on the rack. What's old is new, and what...
