...records this opinion with a certain amount of dismay. I happen to think Sean Penn is one of our more admirable knotheads - a fearless actor, a bold controversialist and, as he proved with The Pledge, a very strong director, capable of far subtler moral complexity than Into the Wild affords. I think the central mistake of this film derives from its lack of irony, a sense it refuses to impart that the world may not be exactly as the zealous Christopher perceives it to be. The film needs at least to entertain the possibility that its protagonist was driven less...
...real estate developer, art collector and former chef is having fun with fashion. As CEO of NRDC Equity Partners?the private-equity firm that bought Lord & Taylor?Baker is the proud new owner since October of America's oldest department store. And he's overseeing a makeover as bold as his brightly colored tie. To prove his dedication to the turnaround, he and his wife have made a pact to buy almost all their clothes from the retailer, and everything he is wearing except the tie ("I had clothes before I bought Lord & Taylor") is from his store.

From the outset, Baker took bold steps to show the fashion community that he was serious about turning around the brand. He met with vendors, publications and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) asking for advice and partnerships.

Led by the famous Wiener Werkstätte, the Vienna design scene flourished with bold, graphic patterns often in black and white. Today the look is reborn in Andrew Gn's collection of clutches for Leiber and Dior's dazzling diamond-encrusted watch. At Proenza Schouler, models looked as though they had traveled back through time, swaddled in lush fur collars and cloche hats. On the home front, Baker's furniture line by Laura Kirar echoes the lines of Josef Hoffman...
...much light in these stones and that somehow they are not pure, but maybe it's not for everyone." Indeed, after 27 years in business designing her namesake collection of fine jewelry for Tiffany & Co., Paloma Picasso, 58, the daughter of Pablo Picasso, has finally seen her passion for bold, large-scale jewelry and colorful, rough-edged stones come into fashion. When she launched her collection in 1980, Picasso had only been dabbling in jewelry design, creating a line of costume jewelry for Bergdorf Goodman and incorporating jewelry into stage outfits she designed for avant-garde productions in Paris...
