Forget boxes on wheels and tacky subdivisions. Prefab is now just plain fab. Once the poor stepchild of residential construction, so-called systems-built housing is now the province of topflight architects, who are reinventing the genre with innovative designs, new building components and environmentally friendly approaches. In September, Lindal (2003 sales: $50 million) begins offering two versions of the Graves-designed kit house on its website, where it already sells a prefab home created by James Cutler, the architect behind the home of Microsoft chairman Bill Gates. New Jersey architect-cum-performance artist Adam Kalkin is taking orders...
...course, any aging boomer could spend days playing at matching the Fab Four to his favorite political horses. But only Stills and a few other elite rockers can back up the Starr-Sharpton connection with a quick disclaimer: “I know Ringo very, very well, and they’re a lot alike,” he added...

Velour has never looked so good. Uber-designer Hayley B. Barna ’05 adds a little style to dreary FM production nights in her fab Juicy sweats and funky sneakers. Lucky for us, Hayley loves FM so much that she never leaves The Crimson. Well, maybe. She loves us enough that she doesn’t bitch when we give her stories three days late. Quirky and energetic, Hayley is much more than a designer. This superstar creates beautiful pages with the greatest of ease but is also always up for a game of Boggle, a screening...
