...pile into the relatively untapped U.S. market--while fast fashion accounts for around 12% of the British clothing market, it is just 1% of the total in the U.S., according to Bain, a consulting firm. Spying massive opportunities, Spain's Zara has two dozen stores in the U.S.; Swedish chain H&M boasts more than 100. Not Topshop. Though it has sold individual collections in America--along with the Kate Moss range at Barneys, Topshop's Unique line sells in the Opening Ceremony boutique in New York City--it has not followed with any stand-alone stores before now.

Madge was a no-show, but the long lines lasted for weeks. The draw was her line of trench coats, kimono dresses and catsuits for the Swedish retailer H&M, which debuted on March 10 at H&M's newest store in Hong Kong and in April at H&M in Shanghai.

TIME came late to global warming by the standards of the Swedish chemist, but early by most measures. We published our first cover story on the topic in October 1987. "It is too soon to tell whether unusual global warming has indeed begun," wrote Michael D. Lemonick. But if the climate did begin to change, we could expect "dramatically altered weather patterns, major shifts of deserts and fertile regions, intensification of tropical storms...
