Keeping the lines voguish has ensured a stream of recent hits for Target, perhaps even a few bull's-eyes. In stores now is an effervescent new collection by the New York City--based sophisticates behind Proenza Schouler. Designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez conceived bustier tops, jersey dresses and tropical prints that evoke their main line in everything but price. "We want the customer to know it's authentic," says Adams, who joined Target in 1983 as an assistant buyer and was promoted to senior vice president of softlines six years ago. Authentic, relevant and fun are her buzzwords...
...down on training camps. While Pakistan has closed down some camps, many observers in both Pakistan and Afghanistan say he is not doing enough to stop Taliban and al-Qaeda activity in the region, a sentiment that seems to be shared by the Bush Administration, judging by the recent stream of official visitors to the Pakistani capital...
...doing Swan Lake," says Lynn Garafola, a dance historian and author of Legacies of Twentieth-Century Dance. Increasingly, it's choreographers like Ratmansky who are taking their place as ballet's headliners. In one of Ratmansky's most celebrated moves, for example, in 2003 he restaged Bright Stream, the full-length ballet by radical Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, which Stalin banned shortly after it premiered in Moscow in 1936. Ratmansky looks forward, too: his own creation, Go for Broke, features modern steps and bright yellow unitards, marking quite a departure from the traditional tutus and pink leotards of Cinderellas past...
Despite this emphasis on new work, Ratmansky is staying true to one of his original wishes - to keep the Bolshoi's illustrious history alive in its dance. Bright Stream, he notes, was based on Muscovite traditions, and he will continue to produce classical pieces, including this season's Don Quixote. "The classical ballet is so perfect in itself - it can't die away," he says. So far, Ratmansky's strategy is paying off. If the smiles and good cheer at its Moscow headquarters are any clue, Ratmansky has pulled the Bolshoi out of its deep Dostoyevskian funk. "There...
...recent night at the New Stage, a stream of patrons filed in for the premiere of The Ballets of George Balanchine - the legendary classical choreographer whom Ratmansky cites as a prime inspiration. While tourists posed for photos in the lobby, balletomanes lined up to purchase Bolshoi magnets and T shirts, and ushers hawked commemorative calendars, Ratmansky slipped unnoticed into a back booth. Ignoring the commotion and scribbling notes, he kept his eye trained solely on his ballerinas, who wore the Bolshoi's traditional monochrome leotards and leaped and jetéed to Balanchine's original choreography. The performance was exquisite...
