...personal attacks, and both involve a lot of money. That's why it's been particularly hard for designer Frida Giannini, 35, to win the vote of her fashion constituents for the three years that she has been overseeing the creative direction of Gucci, the $3.1 billion (2.1 billion euro) apparel, fragrance and accessories juggernaut. Compared with her predecessor, the fashion rock star Tom Ford, Giannini cuts a low profile, and critics have called her runway shows everything from "hard to warm to" to "pedestrian."

...exchange rate remains a contentious issue. Since China's currency, the yuan, was delinked from the U.S. dollar in July, 2005, it has appreciated about 14% against the greenback. However, because of the declining international value of the dollar, the yuan has depreciated by some 6.4% against the euro. This has made the Europeans very unhappy.
