Greenspan, a former jazz musician (he played clarinet and sax) and a disciple of free-market philosopher Ayn Rand, frequently confronts such agonizing choices.

It transcended the role, of course, and luxury purveyors are again looking back to the jazz age for inspiration. Bottega Veneta designer Thomas Maier pays homage to the gold-leaf look with his latest collection of shoes. And at Fendi, Deco shapes grace the Vanity handbag.
