"We have been absolutely driven by luxury products in the past 18 months," says Rose-Marie Bravo, president of Saks Fifth Avenue. "Consumers want you to know they have it [upscale style], but they don't want to shout." As an example of this quieter elegance, Bravo points to the sleek and somber lines of Jil Sander, where a suit averages about...

...process neither raising his voice nor losing his shy little smile. He's a much neater operative than Pulp's Vinnie. And his drug of choice is much less threatening; it's old movies. For he's also the kind of film geek who can identify Rio Bravo from a few snippets overheard on the TV set in another room, or mouth all the dialogue from the last scene of Touch of Evil as he sits entranced before the screen in a revival house...
