...surprise when British designer STELLA MCCARTNEY features songs by her father Paul at her fashion shows. But spectators were caught off guard last week in Paris when she opened her lingerie-inspired collection for the French design house Chloe with portions of President Clinton's remarks about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Layered over a throbbing techno beat, the President could be heard intoning, "What I'm just trying to do is contain my natural impulses and get back to work," as models wearing revealing slip dresses, camisoles and low-cut blouses sashayed down the runway. Later in the show...
...every designer is budging. Donna Karan, Anna Sui, Todd Oldham and Betsey Johnson say they will use only fake fur--although some will use shearling. Nor is PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) backing down. Its latest salvo is a video narrated by Chloe designer Stella McCartney (daughter of Paul and Linda) that contains grisly footage of a fox farm in Illinois. And even the most hardened fashion followers are mortified that some designers are using seal fur. The farmers are fighting back, and the Fur Commission of America launched an informative, if slightly defensive, website in July...
Maybe there should be a rack in record stores for Relatives of Famous Musicians. Last week it was announced that a posthumous album of the work of LINDA MCCARTNEY, whose considerable talents were widely held to exclude singing, will be released in November. Before she died earlier this year, McCartney made an album of songs she had recorded over the past 20 years. The album, Wide Prairie, could be joined in the Relatives rack by recent releases from Eagle-Eye Cherry, son of Don, brother of Neneh; Adam Cohen, son of Leonard; Bijou Phillips, daughter of Mamas & Papas John Phillips...
While a spokesman says finances are "stable," P.K. vice president Dale Schlafer pleaded, "If we continue to go in the hole in the events that we do, the future of Promise Keepers is in jeopardy." McCartney, a former university football coach, refuses to be discouraged. "I've been part of a football program that was on the bottom, and I saw it become one of the top programs. If the right people work together, with the power of the Holy Spirit, if the anointing of God is with you, you can go the distance." He and other organizers vow they...
Undeterred, McCartney and his assistants are busily sketching out a 1999 stadium schedule. Their next spectacular is called "1-1-2000," a multisite New Year's Day 2000 celebration by both men and women in all 50 states. Says McCartney: "Let's face it. Morality in this nation is spiraling downward, out of control. Christians are a minority, and we have to stand up and be counted." The problem is, the count at present is dropping...
