...Russia, did not attend his funeral. And the remnants of his once all-powerful party put him in the ground in the dark, not in some grand presidential tomb but in a plain grave beneath a 100-year-old linden tree in his sooty Serbian hometown of Pozarevac. A brass band, made up of retired members of the Serb military, played a mournful march, as a handful of the faithful tried to recapture his former glory in speeches blending his trademark nationalist rhetoric with rants against Serbia's manifold alleged enemies. Though an estimated 80,000 attended a memorial rally...
...curiosities as tabor-drum workshops and Morris-dancing classes. Not a place, then, where one would expect to encounter Anna Wintour, the editor of American Vogue, especially not at the height of London Fashion Week. Yet Wintour, along with New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art's top brass, had an assignation there with the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. So entertaining was the performance that Wintour was even seen to remove her signature sunglasses. Indeed, the band is now penciled in to play a Vogue-sponsored benefit at the Met later this year.

Once Krakoff has started sketching, he and his production team begin reviewing last season's handbags. They look at what sold, which colors were popular in Los Angeles and New York City and which shapes...
...Bags right now are about soft and chunky," Krakoff says as he examines a black Legacy bag prototype with chunky brass. The bag is not yet perfect, but it's very close. Krakoff corrects the outer pockets (too high) and asks the designer to take off the coin-purse patch pocket ("I love a coin purse, but here I want it to go away"), and he questions the height of the bag. "This bag is going to be big, so we should do more choices," he instructs the design staff members. They decide to add metallic and grainy-metallic versions...
