...series of high-design boutiques to open in Tokyo's expensive Ginza district is Gucci. On the tail of Chanel and Christian Dior?which built modernistic marvels of their own in 2004?Gucci opened the doors to its long-awaited flagship, below, earlier this month. The dual-layer glass exterior of the eight-story building lights up at night with an installation by Shozo Toyohisa. Inside, the mood is a vast departure from the hard-edged sex appeal of Gucci's Tom Ford era. The new, less intimidating look incorporates warm color schemes and the use of natural light...
...latest Bond film, “Casino Royale,” James’ dame du jour presents an unfamiliarly prickly exterior, mounted atop armor as thick as the new Bond’s skull. In contrast to Daniel Craig’s cuboid appearance, Eva Green, who plays Vesper Lynd, looks remarkably like a pale rose—beautiful, but chilling. She rarely relinquishes control of a scene, digging her thorns deep into the film and filling holes in the spongy plot with a deep well of anger, love, and all that lies in between...
...wood esplanade that, if all goes as planned, will become part of 47 miles of new harborside walkways. Diller and Scofidio have used the same wood to create a wide outdoor staircase that doubles as a bleachers-style seating area.

"She was ready to get the hammer and nails, I swear to God," says Meyers. "We didn't have time, but the fact that she was so willing to do that, well, take it from...
...artist's 1991-92 collaboration with burlesque painter Juan Davila, to give an idea of his contemporaries. And in the final spaces, he provides the breadth of a suburban street for surveying Arkley's crowning canvases of the '90s, such as the almost radioactively-charged Family Home: Suburban Exterior, 1993, which made him justly famous. Along nearly 20m of nearby wall are hung the larger-than-life vignettes of suburban lounge rooms, many drawn from earlier works, which played like his Greatest Hits at Venice. Here, to walk before his Vulcan gas heater set on its throne of crazy paving...
