Puma found success with such star athletes as Joe Namath and soccer king Pelé, who led the brand to superstardom in major arenas. Athletes such as Walt Frazier, Oscar de la Hoya, Martina Navratilova and Serena Williams followed suit, and Puma further revolutionized the category with the introduction of Velcro fasteners. Not content to stay in the stadium, Puma branched out, marrying sports with fashion in 1998 with a collection of Jil Sander--designed sneakers. Lines for Christy Turlington's Nuala brand followed, as did Evisu's True Love Never Dies jeans and collaborations with Philippe Starck and Alexander McQueen...

Some of the successes are accidental. For a while, one of the popular movies on Google Video was a 20-sec. clip of a kid falling...
...connections that will allow them to collaborate on large-scale projects, instead of suffering in the doldrums of redundancy. It’s no surprise then that the most popular refrain from attendees called for more College involvement. Charles W. Altchek ’07, captain of the varsity soccer team, called the gathering “overdue” and Amy M. Zelcer ’07, president of Harvard Students for Israel, noted it was “something the College should’ve done in the past.”In the same week, the Leadership...
