Ever wonder what was in Tom Ford's first collection for Gucci or where the idea for Donna Karan's signature bodysuit came from? Now is the perfect time to bone up on your fashion history. This fall Assouline is publishing a trio of designer biographies--The Journey of a Woman: 20 Years of Donna Karan (228 pages), Carolina Herrera (208 pages) and Marc Jacobs (80 pages).

...CRASHED. GENESIS, NASA space probe, after its parachutes failed to open on its return to Earth's atmosphere; in Utah. The probe, part of a $260 million mission to study the evolution of the solar system, captured solar particles 1.5 million kilometers from Earth on its 37-month journey. With its cargo considered too delicate for a hard landing, helicopters manned by stunt pilots were deployed to snare the craft as it drifted down?but the parachute mishap meant the saucer-shaped ship plummeted to Earth at almost 320 km/h.

Part road movie, part coming-of-age story, the film is based on the journals that Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado kept on their eight-month journey across Latin America in 1952, from Buenos Aires through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Venezuela. The motorcycle of the title, a beat-up 1939 Norton 500 optimistically named the Mighty One, only makes it as far as Los Angeles, Chile, but stubbornness and curiosity keep the adventurers moving toward their destination...
