Jealous, angry and more than a little interested in what one of these muses looks like, I canceled an important mid-workday Foosball game and met Amanda Brooks, the muse of Tuleh, at Cafe Lebowitz. She looked the part--like a Klimt painting, tall and thin with wavy golden hair and a Tuleh blouse speckled with drips of gold--and even trumped my corporate Amex with a magical tab that Tuleh employees never have to pay, thanks to a barter deal. Not only do muses not pay for food, but the breakfast was better than it was the last time...
...overstyled looks that make good pictures and the celebrities who need outfits to illuminate the red carpet. In the late '90s many young designers--Jeremy Scott springs to mind--tried to make their mark with over-the-top, fashion-forward creations. But today rising stars like Bryan Bradley of Tuleh, Derek Lam and Zac Posen focus on creating clothes that please private clients, celebrities and stores...

Yates creates simple but dainty dresses and pants that signal a wistfulness for an era when playful flirtation was the language that reigned between men and women. Her pricing, unlike her peers', is relatively quaint too, with a ceiling of $300. Like Tuleh's Patner, Yates is a former stylist. In the early '90s she began to make clothes in her spare time. When she took them to photo shoots, the models couldn't keep their hands off them. In the past year her garments have made their way into Barney's New York and Henri Bendel, where they...
