...spring 2005 collection for Burberry, designer Christopher Bailey drew inspiration from an English classic: blue-and-white Wedgwood ceramics. The French fabric company Pierre Frey recently introduced Hong Kong, a toile depicting its namesake city, including skyscrapers and traffic jams.

...thought it would be great to do a toile that showed scenes of now--what people are doing in an urban environment, what they look like--but to do it as beautifully as possible," says Paul Simmons, 37, one of Timorous Beasties' designers.

...after twenty-one years of searching, I had finally found my calling, and even though I only got to live it for nine months, I’ll go to my grave talking about my American football experience in Glasgow. My only regret is that life now pales in comparison to my days of gridiron glory, and I often find myself dreaming about making one more diving touchdown catch or gazing one final time upon that groupie who looked sort of like the second-string linebacker...
