...placing 101st on the list of the TIME 100 [April 26]. Stein suggested that the exclusion of Farmer, an infectious-disease specialist who spends most of his time at a charity hospital in Haiti, hinged on the selfless doctor's lacking "a publicist, agent, manager or even a stylist."

Says Bloch: "For the past few seasons fashion has been dainty and elegant," and creepers are the opposite. They may be just the thing to give footwear fashion a little kick...
...bespoke perfume process begins with a one-hour profiling session conducted by a stylist who asks a series of questions designed to map a customer's sensual and psychological makeup?what kind of scenery, music and textures she prefers; what sort of running water sounds she finds appealing?waterfall, gurgling brook or ocean surf. The company uses the information to match the customer with a perfumer, who begins to compose a fragrance, sending samples of the scent until it is refined to satisfaction. The whole process can take three months or more; prices start around...
