...launch an Indian edition next year. Every rock act of note plays Bangalore: the Rolling Stones were here three years ago and U2 will perform in the autumn. Chanel spent several hundred thousand dollars on a single evening's festivities to announce its entry into India, and Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Gucci and the others are on their way. Nor is the traffic one-way. Indian companies are now expanding abroad. The Tata Group, the country's largest conglomerate, recently announced huge investments in South Korea, and its Taj hotel chain has just taken over New York City's tony...
...Games will boost their city. "This is a fantastic opportunity to give Torino an international showcase," says Grissiotto. And even sophisticated Italians may decide to join the party if native athletes start to pick up gold. After winning five World Cup races so far this season, slalom specialist Giorgio Rocca could fill the giant boots of legendary skier Alberto Tomba. Carolina Kostner gives Italy its first real shot at women's figure-skating glory in years. And a strong contingent of cross-country skiers and lugers could stand on the podium. Yet organizers admit the real newsmakers are likely...

Dolce, who comes from a family of well-established tailors, had been hankering for a job in Armani's design studio. When that did not happen, he went to work for a relatively unknown designer named Giorgio Correggiari and got his new boyfriend a job too. But they had bigger dreams than just working behind the scenes at a small company. They saw the success...
...THAT YOU'RE SO WELL KNOWN, IS THERE EVER CONCERN ABOUT YOUR UPSTAGING AN AUTHOR? That's not my problem. If Giorgio Armani designs a dress for Gwyneth Paltrow for the Oscars, he's not worried about upstaging her. What I worry about is now that I have a certain reputation, authors will think I can make their book a best seller. But it doesn't work that way. If I have a reputation, it's because I've been associated with good books that became best sellers. I made my reputation on Cormac McCarthy and Donna Tartt...
