...fitted with hand- carved mahogany woodwork and custom-forged brass trim, and dappled with expansive Oriental rugs and sprays of orchids, the store evokes the imagined atmosphere of a London men's club or a distinguished Edwardian hotel. The display space is cluttered with props, including English saddles, bulbous trophies, top hats and a rack of billiard cues. "Lauren is the only designer with the product range to have such a store," says Nina Hyde, fashion editor of the Washington Post. Some shoppers, though, view the store's atmosphere as contrived...
Like many modern and postmodern choreographers, Morris also dances with his company. He is a riveting performer, with a delicate, Chaplinesque face atop a strong, bulbous body. For a while last year he wore his hair in a thick mass of long black curls that would have done credit to a baroque grandee. In motion he radiates amplitude verging on excess. In One Charming Night, a dance set to four Purcell songs, he presents his own outrageously funny version of the old warhorse Le Spectre de la Rose, leaping and swooping with abandoned ardor around his seated beloved (Teri Weksler...

...some of the glassware designed by Aalto and his first wife Aino. The most atypical piece, the austere "Flower of Riihimaki," is the most beautiful. More often when working in glass, Aalto let his fondness for nature run riot. Vases were a specialty. The free-form circumferences, blobby and bulbous like doodles by Arp or Mird, suggest lakes or amoebas or arboreal cross sections. Even the casting process | was ripped from nature. On display at the MOMA show is a wooden mold used to make Aalto's 1936 Savoy vase: the length of dugout tree trunk is equipment that...
