...geography is destiny, then Reggio di Calabria was a fitting birthplace for the Italian designer who built a $1 billion fashion empire on the notion that there should be no barriers between the worlds of high culture and low, no dividing line between the aesthetics of refinement and ostentation. He finished off his splendidly cut couture gowns (costing $20,000-plus) with accoutrements of denim and plastic. During his abbreviated life Versace designed costumes for several operas produced at Milan's fabled La Scala, and outfitted the cast of Miami Vice. He took stately villas and compounds in Milan, Lake...
...built some prototype puppets out of cardboard, showed them to Disney executives--including chairman Michael Eisner--and got the job. She not only directs the show but has also designed the costumes and (with Michael Curry) the masks and puppets. The Disney folks scoff at the notion that she was a risky choice. "I don't think the Julie part is the risk," says Peter Schneider, president of Disney animation and theatrical productions. "Putting The Lion King onstage is the risk."

The music women make is too varied for a single category, and the mediagenic notion of some sort of "female sound" could turn into a kind of velvet prison. Women, of course, have been major players in music throughout the rock era, so the idea that gals with guitars is something new is an insult to such folk-pop pioneers as Odetta and Joan Baez...
...true that [under the new guidelines] you could not rebuild Kirkland House exactly the same as it is today," he said. But "the notion that Kirkland house is going to burn to the ground and be rebuilt exactly the same is fanciful...
