...fall 2004 runways were filled with recycled references as designers delved into archives, swiping the styles of the 1950s and 1960s and tweaking them with just a touch of the avant garde. Rising-star designers like Nicolas Ghesquière of Balenciaga and the supremely talented Junya Watanabe, a protégé of Rei Kawakubo, both mixed the past with the present - showing shrunken jackets over full, tulip-shaped skirts, or, in Watanabe's case, pumping up the strictly tailored 1950s couture jacket by cutting it from down-filled nylon.

This isn't the first golden...
...held a publicly elected office; he contested a seat in parliamentary elections five years ago and lost by 12,000 votes. But Moi brought him into parliament as a "nominated" M.P. anyway, and later made him a minister. Critics fear that Moi intends to continue to rule through his protégé. At the least, the opposition says, Kenyatta is unlikely to pursue Moi and his allies for alleged corruption, just as Moi left the Kenyatta family alone after the death of Jomo. Kenyatta (who refused TIME's request for an interview) talks about the need for moral regeneration...
