Clothing from specialty apparel stores, like jerseys from the Limited or sweaters from Casual Corner, could languish on the racks this season.

"It should tell you something," says Loeb, "when almost the entire interest in American fashion is on the color of Calvin Klein's underwear...
Following a tour as Jerusalem bureau chief, McGeary worked in New York City from 1988 to 1995, editing the World section and letting her visa collection languish. That should soon change.
