...Savile Row and bespoke, for me, is a passion," he says. And his new 6,800-square-foot store is testimony to the street's revitalization. A mere 18 months ago, the British press was writing obituaries for Savile Row's tailors, whose hand-sewn suits typically start at around $6,000. Even some of the oldest and most august establishments were threatened by rents that had jumped 50% in 10 years. The street also faces growing competition, both from cheap Asian knockoffs and from expensive made-to-measure suits by luxury brands such as Tom Ford and Giorgio Armani...

Mike McLeod, who has already sewn up Ivy Player of the Year honors, had a subpar afternoon last weekend--147 yards and three touchdowns in a triple-overtime win at Penn...
...like the time she wore her husband’s Gap shirt with a Vera Wang skirt to the Oscars, or the time she wore a beautiful gold sheath to an AmFar benefit. This makes the crazy pants or the black dress she wore that had 3-D butterflies sewn onto it all the more shocking. Because she is just so extreme! Sometimes you think she has a deep almost transcendent understanding of fashion and then she dresses like a crafty twelve year old. But, you’ve got to hand...
