...recently paid top dollar to be dropped into the middle of the Amazon. Uniqueness is something, along with quality, that luxury consumers desire universally?who doesn't covet that one-of-a-kind object, whether it be an Hermčs handbag, a Breguet watch or even a multimillion-dollar Damien Hirst skull? But luxury is also about layering comfort into our turbocharged daily lives. As Coco Chanel once said, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it's not luxury." Nobody knows this better than the handful of dynamic women who drive the global luxury-goods business?from Jimmy Choo president Tamara...

...incredibly wan and uninspired drama chronicling the Irish Civil War of the 1920s. Although the Cannes jury embraced the film, the latest offering from the veteran British award-winning filmmaker falls far below expectations. Named after a 19th century Irish folk song, “Barley” follows Damien (Cillian Murphy of “28 Days Later,” “Red Eye,” and “Batman Begins”) as he attempts to suppress the abusive English Black and Tans alongside the Irish Republican Army (IRA). After a long and plodding...
