...aged in New York City and Europe, has been on the whitecap of--or indeed, his splashes have created--just about every fashion wave since his Fall 1995 collection for Gucci. That was the show that brought about a rapprochement between the stylish and the '70s, reacquainting humanity with velvet hip huggers and satin shirts in a way that allowed us to see an inner beauty or relevance we had somehow overlooked for nigh on two decades. Ford gave that silhouette's androgyny a new spark, suggesting that being located somewhere on a male-female continuum rather than...
...point? To expose what she sees as music's pervasive misogyny by animating men's songs from a woman's perspective.

Upon entering, I was confronted by the two sure signs that a party won't be fun: most of the guests had just been fired, and everyone was forced to wear a wristband. Pink glow bands were given to the unemployed, green to recruiters and blue to "supportive friends." I liked...

Harvard Fogg Art Museum’s “Sacred and Profane Visions from Renaissance Venice,” showcasing 30 paintings and prints by Renaissance masters such as Titian and Bellini, comprising of collections from the Museum of Fine Arts to the Louvre, may quite well be one of New England’s most exciting exhibitions this year...
