...Maier away from Herm?s and charged him with creating a luxury line. Maier quickly put out a capsule collection of classic Bottega accessories, including woven bags and wallets, and the catsuits were never seen again. "People don't realize what has been accomplished so quickly," says Gucci Group boss Domenico de Sole. Well, some do. Editors and retailers love Maier's work - the slouchy woven bags, the woven pillows for the home, even a woven motorcross jacket. Maier's latest collection displays a more high-fashion approach, with Venetian glass beads adorning his bags and necklaces. A limited-edition line...
...most beautiful of the pure-profile images, not only in this show but in Renaissance painting as a whole, is the portrait of Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni, circa 1488, by Domenico Ghirlandaio. She died in childbirth in 1488 at the age of only 20, and it's possible that the image was made after her death, as a kind of monument. (J.

On Arrivederci, he sings, in Portuguese, "I don't like you that much/But every time...
...Nicole Kidman at Cannes and Claudia Schiffer at a Bulgari party in Rome. That was all the work of Gucci Group, which acquired the Saint Laurent ready-to-wear and beauty brands in 1999. No, wrapping up the haute couture shows was Yves Saint Laurent himself. When Gucci chief Domenico De Sole bought YSL, haute couture wasn't part of the deal. After all, De Sole answers to shareholders and selling a couple of $10,000 dresses a year at a loss doesn't do much for the bottom line. So Saint Laurent, who turns 65 next month...
...LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and the Gucci Group can rise or fall depending on the strength of the yen and the Japanese economy. With good reason: Japanese shoppers account for some 32% of Gucci and more than 45% of Louis Vuitton brand sales. Japanese consumers, says Gucci CEO Domenico De Sole, "like brands that are truly international...
