...oasis that is Cabot I-41. Entrance into Michael J. Simonetti’s ’02 lair is granted only after removing one’s shoes, but the risk of exposing holey socks is well worth taking. Plush velvet pillows and mattresses swathed in luxurious fabrics beg to be sat/lied/leaned upon. Dimmed lights and jazz music pleasantly ease the senses as Simmonetti, unconcerned with the time of the visit, offers his guests champagne and other cocktails from his personal bar. And in the center of it all, a fountain continually gurgles fresh water to its marble base...

Truck Volume, with its exaggerated haunted-house vibe, seemed like a good fit for the exuberantly hoarse rapper Busta Rhymes. "Busta just sounds crazy to me," Dre says...
...much discussed "equestrian look": tight, jodhpur-inspired stretch pants tucked in to knee-high boots and topped with a diamond-patterned sweater reminiscent of a jockey's uniform, or a tweed hacking jacket like the one pictured here. Manifest in capes, suede pants, scarves and handbags that beg to be thrown over a saddle, the look has found its way into the collections of DKNY, Miguel Adrover, Jill Stuart (who has added girlie frills) and, of course, Ralph Lauren, who has made a whole career out of trotting horse-set style onto the runway...
