...charge of the group's fashion brands. At Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld dropped the rock'n'roll of his last ready-to-wear show and instead invited intimate groups of 140 to two viewings in Coco Chanel's original showroom.

Sandwiched between the classic old guard and flashy new are the middle-aged guard, who first made their mark in the 1980s. Christian Lacroix, recently named designer of the Pucci label, showed a collection brimming with confidence. Feathers, sequins, fur, leather...

His legs positioned in a kendo stance, he whisks out a golden fan emblazoned with the red circle of the Japanese flag. He briskly waves the fan in deliberate downward strokes as a militaristic march plays in the background. The audience claps along, one solid clap every three seconds, while...
Earlier that same evening, as the sun set over the Charles, Yasin sat in his ninth-floor Leverett tower bedroom, barefoot, his extended legs resting on the end of a sofa. After a long day of interviews, he had settled in for one final unexpected visit. The jacket of his nice gray suit removed, he reclined in a black desk chair.
