While Bartlett says he would rather have a smaller, more focused business like Helmut Lang or Paul Smith than develop a huge multiplex of style like the label of Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein, he still has expansion plans. Having his clothes produced in Italy rather than in the U.S. means better tailoring and fabrics, but has raised prices. Eventually he plans to introduce a cheaper line for the malls.

"I have to prod men to tell me what is worrying them about their health." As a result, a woman's physical tends to be more tailored to her worries. Women, for example, "recognize stress issues more readily than men," says Lang, allowing stress evaluation and counseling to be scheduled into the day, if needed...
