House takes its name from Chicago's now-defunct Warehouse club and essentially is the four-four musical descendant of disco, which is why the Giorgio Moroder bassline on Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" still sounds fresh in house clubs today. If pressed, I could use the trainspotters' version, which is to say you could recognise it by the emphasised snare drum or hand clap sound on the two and four beats, and in its repetition of catchy sing-along shout-along phrases. In recent years, the filtered French disco house sound of groups such as Daft Punk...
...cover. But some, like it-girl Miuccia Prada, were easy converts, spending years preparing for their 15 minutes in the millennial spotlight. Over the last few years, sterile, boxy minimalism has disappeared from the runways, overrun by Tom Ford and his new Gucci Empire. Others, however, like Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren have been left to feign acceptance, seeking solace in the profitably stream-lined second lines: DKNY, Emperio Armani/Armani Exchange (they're really the same), and Polo (on top of all those perfume sales...

...good an idea as the SunSpot, a round towel on which beach goers could rotate themselves to remain in the sun's direct light throughout the course of the day. Sadly, the towels never caught on, nor did the all-hemp suit Harrelson had designer Giorgio Armani create for the 1997 Oscars. Undeterred, Harrelson unveiled the Headwaters Hiker earlier this year, the first in a line of environment-friendly footwear made entirely from hemp. Wearers should note that "mistakenly" smoking your shoe is illegal in all 50 states...
