...figure out fashion at Harvard is like trying to figure out what the "three meats" are in the dining hall's "three meat lasagna." It's a big mish-mash of good, bad and often ugly. It's like any normal school--only with a lot more prepsters and Gucci-lovers. But a friend of mine--a "proven" trendsetter (remember Hypercolor? That was all her. Cavariccis? Yup, those too.)--last week discovered the ultimate in cool. It has all the potential of a "crossover"--an unlikely bridge over the oh-so-wide gap between the flannel wearers and the Polo...

...could therefore charge premium rates. But a boom in trained stylists has meant competition, and newer, more affordable processes have tamped prices even further down. Los Angeles stylist Lisha Coleman may charge as much as $5,000 a head for top-of-the-line processes at the upcoming Gucci and Versace shows. But she provides alternatives as low as $300 for a multiethnic clientele of teachers and librarians...
