The result was so bright and tasteful that other merchants noticed it, and Walker suddenly found himself in demand. He now employs 35 people and does more than $15 million worth of store projects a year. In the U.S., his chief clients are various divisions of Federated Department...

They are also subtle, sumptuous, sensual and jubilantly feminine. The overwhelming first American response, both from those who deal in clothes and those...

The implication was that they had just climbed out of bed and were packing for an illicit trip together. A current window at New York's Henri Bendel even hints at lesbianism. It shows a woman in a revealing nightgown in a passive, almost embarrassed stance; another woman in a longer gown leans over her shoulder in an aggressive posture...
