Perhaps the most ambitious club of all is the Core Club, a private establishment to be designed by Studio Sofield (the team behind Gucci's boutiques). Originally scheduled to open in Manhattan this fall, the club now plans to open in spring 2005. The idea is to offer each of its 500 invitation-only members a Core consultant to orchestrate the experience--from booking spa treatments to arranging a meeting with the club's art consultant.

His three grandsons later joined the business, opening more shops in Paris, London and New York City.

Unlike the achingly fatherless Adriana, de Matteo has close family ties. Her dad is a successful furniture-store owner, her mother a playwright. Raised in Manhattan, de Matteo attended tony private schools on the Upper East Side. Before Joey started, her parents, her boyfriend and she trekked west together in a 30ft. camper. And she is keeping her New York City place, just in case. If only Adriana had been that careful...
