...aiming for the mass market. But over the past 10 years, Irish designer Philip Treacy has managed to build a business producing designs that adorn only a few heads - but turn others. Now he's embarking on the most commercial collection of his career, teaming up with the Andy Warhol Foundation to do a line of hats and bags that carry the artist's iconic images. "Warhol is a universal language," Treacy says. "We've gone for the most obvious choices first." Picture a hat with Marilyn Monroe's face hanging above the wearer's; a Campbell's soup...
...Maria Luisa in Paris, 10 Corso Como in Milan and Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Harrods in London.

A secondary stage in the middle of the arena, left tantalizingly empty until the latter part of the show, let the Stones get right in the middle of the crowd. Flashy special effects and pyrotechnics were kept to a minimum in the indoor show, but the Rolling Stones still knew...
...there is a Penzion Andy across the street from the museum, itself on A. Warhola Street. A mineral water company has put Warhol's Red Lenin, Marilyn and Elvis on its labels. And a gallery called Endi (Andy written phonetically in Slovak) was opened by an occasional Warhol impersonator last year in a nearby village.
