...competing British fashion house. The news that Ralph Lauren, the icon of American style, is pushing hard to expand in Europe is being greeted with a certain degree of skepticism. And bitchiness. Who needs a mass American brand like Lauren's when you have the class of Armani, Zegna, Dior and Savile Row? Sure, Europeans are happy to wear a polo player by Lauren instead of an alligator by Lacoste when summering in Cannes. But will they want to don Lauren's $3,000 men's suits or $10,000 beaded dresses when they get back to Paris...
...Ritz, darling. The salons were small and intimate, the better to see the craftsmanship. But the gradual rotation of the old guard (out last season, Yves Saint Laurent; out this season, Oscar de la Renta at the house of Pierre Balmain) to the new (first John Galliano at Christian Dior, most recently Julien Macdonald at Givenchy) has transformed the week to one of pop stars, parties and product launches.

The hat would usually have a small, black veil which would partially cover the face (peering through mesh was considered very sexy). Christian Dior and his “New Look” was the designer of choice and we would wear “knock-offs” of his fashions. Many Radcliffe women scorned any female who wore make-up and had an interest in her appearance. “Frivolous...
...These traditional fragrances were the inspiration for Amouage, one of the world's most expensive scents. Created by Frenchman Guy Robert, who has fashioned perfumes for Chanel and Dior, Amouage combines more than a hundred natural oils?including silver frankincense from the Dhofar region of Oman, and rock rose, which grows on barely accessible Omani hillsides. Amouage comes in clever minaret-shaped bottles decorated with traditional Omani designs. One of these gold and leaded crystal bottles will set you back about $3,000 in Paris or London, so you might want to opt instead for a $5 bottle of scented...
