...whoop, intent on "breaking down the barriers of that impenetrable bastion of male arrogance and supremacy: 'the boys club.'" One weapon, she confides, is "the Art of S&M (Seduction and Manipulation)." One of DiSesa's guiding principles, however, is, "Don't confuse seduction with sex (one is a brilliant business tactic; the other isn't)." Her other rules could be just as useful to men: "Always 'read' the room (you're less likely to step in s___); don't wallow in decision anxiety (it makes you look weak)." DiSesa even suggests that women be more like men--"decisive, focused...

Then there is Miuccia Prada, who invests a tremendous amount of time and interest in fabric development. Describing the designer as innovative, Ratti remembers a series of checks being printed directly onto knitwear and geometric motifs onto T shirts...
...Archibald Grosvenor (Matthew I. Bohrer ’10) who calls himself a “trustee of beauty.” When the maidens encounter this new embodiment of perfection, the tempo accelerates and some excellently choreographed chaos erupts on stage. Bohrer’s Archibald was brilliant in his vanity, stealing the attention of the audience as well as the rapturous maidens. His sickly counterpart, the “fleshly” Reginald, was well cast to satirize Oscar Wilde. Yet Kimmey’s permanent grimace was distracting, as were the mock Grecian poses and the excessive...
