...true of China and Japan, which, despite their animosity, need each other desperately. China's costly and wasteful use of energy and escalating environmental degradation threaten the sustainability of its economic boom. Japan, one of the greenest, most energy-efficient countries in the industrialized world, is brimming with the know-how that could help China alleviate these problems.

Their technical know-how stands in direct contrast to a woman who hand-paints jungle-like flowers for a Ferragamo scarf and a man nearby who loosely sketches polo players for Ralph Lauren. Nearby are the famous archives, stored in an enormous hangar. The archives are organized by style and designer, and walking through the aisles is a heady experience of color fantasy and craftsmanship, a sort of fashion-world memory lane...
