...haute-couture variety--is all about fantasy, then last week's Christian Dior show proved particularly effective, offering the woman who can afford a $25,000 dress the chance to look as if she slept in the gutter. For his Spring/Summer 2000 collection, Dior's renegade designer JOHN GALLIANO created clothes that were exquisitely tailored to look utterly tattered. Seams were torn just so, and sleeves were ripped to hang around the knees. Banishing expensive baubles and beaded purses, Galliano instead accessorized his models with used tea bags, bottle caps and empty liquor bottles. The designer said he drew inspiration...
...time when being controversial for most young actresses means wearing Galliano instead of Prada, Jolie is a shot of adrenaline, and Hollywood is growing addicted.

And Paco Rabanne illustrated his prediction that the Mir space station will kill thousands when it crash-lands...
...SCORSESE of her role as an unhappy specter in the film Bullfighter. And apparently vengeance is well dressed this year. In her first big screen role, the 22-year-old daughter of director Martin Scorsese and author Julia Cameron wears gowns by Christian Dior designer and fashion darling John Galliano. As for her own fashion sense, Cameron-Scorsese says she's a chameleon, having split time between New Mexico with her mom and New York with her dad. As a child she had bit parts in Scorsese films. Would she like to work with her father again? "Of course...
