...City and Europe, has been on the whitecap of--or indeed, his splashes have created--just about every fashion wave since his Fall 1995 collection for Gucci. That was the show that brought about a rapprochement between the stylish and the '70s, reacquainting humanity with velvet hip huggers and satin shirts in a way that allowed us to see an inner beauty or relevance we had somehow overlooked for nigh on two decades. Ford gave that silhouette's androgyny a new spark, suggesting that being located somewhere on a male-female continuum rather than in one gender camp opens...
Step inside room one at the Bates Motel. Janet Leigh's opened suitcase is on the right with white satin lingerie neatly laid on top. The bed on the left has already been turned down for the night. Today's newspaper is on the windowsill. The shower door is open and a pale silhouette is visible through the shower curtain...
Small inherited a vast and (literally) crumbling empire of 16 museums and galleries, 142 million artifacts--ranging from the Wright brothers' biplane to Nancy Reagan's silk-satin Inaugural gown--nine research centers and the National Zoo.

They became big and plastic, and their messages lost out to corporate hype and photo badges of 8-year...
...skits included "Chocolat Tiger, Hidden Bon-Bon" with the octogenarian "Chocolat" producer David Brown hamming it as Brown Young Fat; a revised "Chocolat" with director Roland Joffe ("The Killing Fields" and MTV's "Undressed") as an outlandish Satan (wearing toy-store $3 devil horns made out of crimson satin) seducing Marisa Tomei and Christina Applegate. James Woods showed his appreciation for the genre by dragging it up as "Erin Chocovitch," displaying what he conceded to me were the spindliest legs in the business. His beautiful young date seemed shell-shocked. One surmised that she'd perhaps seen his legs before...
