Inside, the cavernous space (which includes a huge bar, for one night only) has been decked out not for clowns and acrobats but for a fashion show?one far bigger than those usually staged in Paris, Milan and New York.

Then there's travel. "If you don't travel in fashion, you are dead," says Sälzer, who has just returned from Madrid, where he had no specific agenda other than that he hadn't been there in a year. Traveling means checking out restaurants, new hotels, the stores, "then three months on, if someone says, 'We should open on this street,' I know exactly where it is and what the area is like. While I travel, I don't decide anything; I'm just being open. But when a decision is needed, I'm ready. I'm a very...
