...When Roy Frowick Halston signed a deal with J.C. Penney in 1982, the once-worshipped designer’s business crumbled as J.C. Penney sales disappointed. Wary of the bad rep, Goodman and Giorgio quickly dropped Halston’s designer line. When Pierre Cardin licensed his name to a line of ready-to-wear clothes, he diluted his brand and his value plummeted. And few know that Isaac Mizrahi only launched his Target line after he had to close his own couture line after a few bad seasons, as reported by The Advocate’s Sept. 2003 issue...
...Frowick Halston was the first fashion superstar, a huge personality who was the embodiment of '70s glamour, excess and hyperactive nightlife, the dresser of such gorgeous creatures as Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Lauren Bacall and Jacqueline Kennedy (he even created her pink pillbox hat). But as a designer, he was all minimalist chic.

SARAJEVO: Citing widespread abuse of rules and regulations, the international group charged with implementing the Dayton Agreement abruptly cancelled municipal elections across Bosnia Tuesday, a day before they were set to take place.

...what if the U.S. loses the game of chicken and Milosevic never delivers Karadzic? Short of renewed fighting, elections will go ahead no matter what, says the head of OSCE in Bosnia, Ambassador Robert Frowick. But with Karadzic still pulling the strings, Clinton would find it increasingly difficult to explain his fear of using the 60,000 NATO troops on the ground to remove him. By the end of the week, in fact, NATO said its forces in Bosnia would be redeployed to limit Karadzic's and Mladic's movements--and therefore their ability to wield power. With...
