...appease the Street's insatiable demand for growth, Polo last week bought Club Monaco for $81.5 million. What it got was a Canadian-based retailer that sold $90 million of designer-style (did somebody say Prada knock-off?) wear last year and has clout with the coveted youth market. And with only 13 stores in the U.S., Club Monaco has room to expand. Fashion insiders see Club Monaco as eventually becoming Ralph's stylish answer to the Gap and Banana Republic.

When Victor undergoes a transformation to a law student, we know he is different because he now wears a Brooks Brothers suit and drinks Diet Coke. London and Paris become...
Hicks: I saw some really cool Prada leather underwear in NY but didn't have sufficient funds at the time. Actually, I never have the sufficient funds! I do, however, own leopard-print underwear but I thought that animal skin would be going a little too far for an amateur so I settled on the black K-mart special...
