Where's the trendiest place to shop these days? Try your closet. To wit: Kelly Thorsen, a school secretary from Lakeland, Fla., needed a nice pair of boots for the holiday season. A new pair would have cost some $200, and a splurge was not an option for the mother of two. "Last year, I might have gone out and started looking around," says Thorsen, 46. "Now we are being a lot more careful with where our dollars are being spent. To go out and purchase a new pair of boots was not in my realm." (See the 25 people...
...literally dusted off a decade-old pair of ragged black leather boots sitting in her closet and visited a shoe-repair shop for the first time in her life. For a fashion-conscious woman, the thought of recycling clothing hurt her pride a bit. "I walked in with my tail between my legs," she says. "It was something, initially, I was not proud of."

...companion and lifelong business partner Pierre Bergé would buy the first of three Mondrian paintings as they began building one of the great art collections of modern times. On Feb. 23-25, eight months after Saint Laurent's death at age 71, Christie's will sell off the pair's entire collection - paintings and sculptures, antiquities and furniture - in an unprecedented auction at Paris' Grand Palais. Despite the economic crisis, experts say the rarity and quality of the works virtually ensures the sale will shatter the all-time auction record for a private collection: $206 million hauled...
...Bergé moved out of the Rue de Babylone apartment 20 years ago, though the pair continued to collect together. The entire collection was bequeathed to Bergé when Saint Laurent died, and he knew almost right away that he would sell it all, with the proceeds - estimated to top $250 million - destined for AIDS research and a Saint Laurent museum. "Since Yves died, the collection has lost its sense," says Berg...
