Although Japanese designers like Miyake and Hanae Mori appeared on the international fashion scene in the 1970s, it was a decade later when Paris really took notice. The era was one of excess: Claude Montana and Thierry Mugler were focused on enhancing shoulders with exaggerated padding; Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent were creating rococo fantasies of beading, silk and ruffles.

But at the center of the affair has been the tragic figure of Scott Waddle, a complex character who exudes self...
...alike, it was a week in which the karma turned?and we all suddenly understood that retired heads of state can do so much more than secure financing for their libraries and prepare their legal defenses. Perhaps Clinton's visit will be an inspiration for Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori, who last week announced he would be stepping down. If Mori has one-tenth Clinton's compassion, he'll soon be telling Gujaratis, "I feel your pain" through an interpreter and wondering when's lunch. Look at it this way, Citizen Mori: You may have lost power, riches and reputation...
