Steffe is on board as is designer Charles Nolan, who will re-energize the store's proprietary Kate Hill brand. Bryan Bradley of Tuleh, who is creating an exclusive Lord & Taylor line, will play up the chain's history. His collection will feature $30 rock-concert-style T shirts with sayings and imagery lifted from the store's archives (think Lord & Taylor's red rose and an art director's wit circa 1954). Upscale chiffon dresses, sweaters and blouses in the $70 to $280 range are also part of the classic yet sexy and modern line. "Lord & Taylor is what...
...Lord & Taylor's success. He's energized but not jaded. "He doesn't come from the realm of fashion retail as we know it, but he's become very smart and has developed relationships with people in the industry very quickly," says Steven Kolb, executive director of the CFDA. Tuleh's Bradley thinks Baker's ability to observe from a nonretail point of view is the reason changes have happened so quickly. "He is a big-picture guy, and when the small picture needs to be looked at, he can zoom in without telling people how to design the clothes...

But musing can be anything from prancing around the studio, as Sofia Coppola does for Marc Jacobs, to what Brooks does for Tuleh designer Bryan Bradley, which includes giving her opinion on fabrics and designs--something that sounded suspiciously like work until I found out that Brooks draws little hearts next to the parts she likes. I like to think Beatrice's copy of The Inferno was riddled with pink hearts...
...title "muse" disappeared from the job market around the same time as "serf." "A lot of people have resistance to muses. They want something tangible: she answers the phone; she's the human-resources manager," says Brooks. But despite her job's intangibility, Brooks takes her responsibility at Tuleh very seriously. Kind of. A mother of two, she goes into the Tuleh offices, which are half a block from her apartment, three times a week if she feels like it. "It's my job to spread love to the seamstress, the financial...
...search to find shoes for a show, Bradley got the keys to her apartment from her doorman so that he could rummage through her closets. "I don't even have to be there to inspire him," she explains. Bradley met Brooks after a stylist put her in a giant Tuleh gown for a fashion-magazine shoot. Since then Brooks has increased Tuleh's visibility by wearing the clothing in the shocking number of magazine party pictures she shows up in. Why Brooks--who I'm pretty sure was never on Baywatch--appears in so many magazines is not entirely clear...
