Treacy's inspirations are tribal, sculptural, futuristic and submarine. If he uses traditional millinery materials like feathers, they may radiate around a silver lace mask, above left. If he uses straw, it is molded into a huge dollop dripping over the face, right. In one gobsmacking moment during his show, a model wearing a hat that echoed a Calder mobile, middle left, turned her head slowly, and the hat wrapped around her face like a veil. The lights went off, and zowie! The horizontal disks glowed in the dark...
...those were trick questions. Buying books--or fancy products--stamped with the names of the world's finest chefs is just the latest form of gourmet porn. The consumer gets to fantasize that with aids like a dollop of Jean-Georges's special tamarind paste or one of Ducasse's $275 copper saucepans, one can whip oneself and one's guests to the heights of culinary ecstasy.

A little dollop of Here Comes Mr. Jordan or Stairway to Heaven never hurt anyone--except that these seraphs have a mean streak unknown to their more beamish movie predecessors...
...High Table, the six dons chatter away while butlers in crisp which uniforms gingerly usher three routinely exquisite courses onto their plates (and this is not exaggerated): smoked salmon mousse with a dollop of caviar, prime venison steak with exotic grilled vegetables and a painstakingly hand-crafted brandy snap shell filled with fresh berries and topped with a Grand Marnier sauce. Each course is served with a choice of wines from the college cellar. Afterward, they retire to the Senior Common Room for port and coffee. And this is where our tuition fees are going...
