Richard Lacayo argues that the steel-and-glass Modernist box is about to be sliced, diced and shredded. Five designers--Giorgio Armani, John Bartlett, Randolph Duke, Tommy Hilfiger and Vera Wang--created a closetful of clothes, with Wang's wedding dress, I guess, a good indication that at least she thinks the institution of marriage will survive...
