But last night Ralph Lauren topped them all with his elegant and spectacular 40th-anniversary show and black tie dinner in Central Park's Conservancy garden. To the strains of the score of My Fair Lady, guests - over 400 of them - floated down the garden stairs into a pristine white tent edged in crisp black. The structure could have been a harbinger of Lauren's Spring 2008 show which opened with a graphic black-and-white...

She and her son have refused to evacuate the town, reaching for a skimpy yellow garden hose to shield their nine white goats, 14 roosters and garden of olive, lemon and fig trees from the blaze tearing through the town. "I have no other option," says Vassiliki Panagopoulou. "I just can't get up and leave my home of 40 years." From Greece's northern frontiers...
