...Ford as creative director at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Although Gucci parent PPR's announcement is not expected until this week, sources close to the Gucci group said a new in-house team of designers would be promoted: Alessandra Facchinetti, Alfreda Giannini and John Ray at Gucci, and Stefano Pilati at YSL. All four are Ford-trained, but none yet possess the star power many consider essential to the success of luxury labels. "We are going to be watching with great anticipation whether this new concept for Gucci will be valid," said Burt Tansky, chief executive of luxury retailer...

For the past two months, Parmalat founder Calisto Tanzi has been in prison on charges that he drove the Italian dairy giant into a €14 billion hole with a complex web of fraud and deception.

In fact, it becomes clear that authenticity mostly means buying Made-in-Italy goods - this is an unabashed promotion of Italian exports. "It's not Italy against Spain or France," says Stefano Crea, head of DNV's food certification unit, who has also come to da Beni today. "It's each country protecting its own." Italians, he says, are tired of the frauds perpetrated in their name - spaghetti on toast, with meatballs, from a can. "We don't say the chef...
