...duty-free shops, have no previous experience running a fashion house. The looming question: Would they allow Lacroix to continue his haute-couture line which, like most others, is a perennial money loser? Or was their aim to milk Lacroix's name to cash in on his ready-to-wear clothes and accessories or introduce assorted baubles...
...haute couture--the handcrafted, custom-made clothes that purists consider fashion's highest art form--was just one of many reminders last week of the fashion industry's turmoil. And the dislocations are by no means confined to the rarefied levels of couture. Tremors are shaking up ready-to-wear too. In the late 1990s luxury groups like Gucci and Prada began snapping up stakes in labels by ultracool but often young and untested designers.

Now Jerri has become the face of the new antifur campaign by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). "Previous ads addressed the animal cruelty behind fur, but people...
...identically damaged souls, orbiting one another faster and faster, out of control, lost in space. There's plenty of sharp, funny show-biz business here. The celebrity cameos come thick and fast (Sharon Stone! Rob Reiner!), and Thad's guest spot on Starwatch is hilariously embarrassing--he has to wear alien makeup and say things like "I believe ... we are being appropriated by the Vorbalidian System." But Wagner boldly goes beyond satire in The Chrysanthemum Palace. He finds surprising depths to plumb, even in the land of the superficial. The question that drives the book is, Can children ever escape...
