...says Dundee-born Kennedy, and sips her peppermint tea. She has no time for "the idea that if you write about something dark, you must be dark; if you write about someone who's annoying, you've got to be annoying." Not to worry; she looks just fine in denim and handles the attention with patient and good-natured aplomb. She's had some practice by now. Alison Kennedy has been in print since 1991 - four books of short stories, two of nonfiction and three previous novels, including Everything You Need (1999). Yet she still features on those media-friendly...

She has served some winners--like a flappy white skirt at Wimbledon this year--but also some line-ball calls, like the catsuit of the 2002 U.S. Open. "I always considered myself...
...secret of their success is the combination of Chou's manufacturing power--his family owns Novel Denim, one of the largest suppliers of textiles, sweaters and yarns in the Far East--and Stroll's keen knowledge of international distribution, product development and marketing. With Hilfiger, they were able to use manufacturing muscle to lower prices below those of competitors like Ralph Lauren. They also invested millions of dollars in advertising, flooding international markets with Hilfiger's name and attracting a trend-setting young urban crowd to the brand. In 1992 they took the company public with one of the industry...
