...confusion about what carries religious meaning and what does not is easy to understand. My family Christmas tree has either an angel or a star on top, and these items do have religious significance. There is also the troubling figure of Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas.

While novice tailors listen, he talks about the designer's famous bias-cut dresses, many of which he has worked on. Galliano demands toiles (patterns) not of traditional muslin but of the same fine fabric...
...Dior's because of his romantic and hyperfeminine style." Each man has a point. The fashion industry hopes these newcomers will touch feminine fantasy the way the old masters did.
