Hong Kong-based designer Ranee Kok Chui Wah added feathers and a long, sassy gold sash to her cheongsams, or traditional Chinese dresses; Malaysia's Beatrice Looi applied the country's batik dyeing method to her beaded and sequined silk organza formal wear; and Korean label Kang Ki Ok Urban Look painted the fiery phoenix, once deemed appropriate only for royalty, on the princess-seamed back of a denim dress. Urban Look design director Kwan Jung Ran says the idea is to show that beauty hides in the least obvious places. "Denim is vintage, casual and popular...

While Cash Money artists like the Big Tymers and Boo & Gotti cranked out a series of hits, he was stuck promoting no-name rappers via his UTP Playas collective.

"It was a full-on drum machine thing," says Jones. "Don't know why ... why ... why ... I didn't come ... come ... come ... Just...
None of this bedlam fazes Keller, 48, who is used to the organized chaos of a busy kitchen. Instead he has zeroed in on a minor detail, the tiny labels on the Garnier Thiebaut linen that has just arrived from France. "Especially made for the French Laundry" they read, referring to Keller's four-star restaurant in Napa instead of Per Se, for which the linen was ordered. That few if any diners will notice the label on their napkin is immaterial; Keller knows it is wrong. And it irritates...
