...Costello Meet Advise and Consent hit the bookstores two years ago, the public seemed to be growing weary of the sport. So Drury settled on what was his first "original" of the decade: an historical novel about politics in ancient Egypt.

Ralph Lauren, 37, has made the rough-hewn look the backbone of his collection. His Harris tweed hacking jacket is a highly styled-and highly priced ($256)-version of a riding jacket sold for $79.50 by the equestrian outfitter, Miller's of New York. Louis Vuitton has whipped up a knapsack ($275) blanketed with the familiar L.V.s. Patti Cappalli, 37, has turned out a little mink-lined lumber jacket ($450) and Alice Elaine...
