Finally, in August 1988, Berge, the dynamic president of Yves Saint Laurent, was appointed to run the project. Five months later, he set off the biggest flap of all when he unceremoniously fired Daniel Barenboim and shelved the conductor's programming plans. By May of last year, when Chung, plucked from | the obscurity of the Saarland Radio Orchestra in West Germany, was named Barenboim's surprise successor, the new administration had little more to offer than a notion that the house would open early this year, with something, sung by somebody or other.

In Atlanta he decorated Yves Saint Laurent windows for free. ("He was my hero. I tried to do them just the way Mr. Saint Laurent would have wanted them.") A job sorting clothes for Amvets gave Kelly access to discarded Chanel suits and old beaded gowns. Soon he had his own antique-clothing boutique. When ends didn't meet...
