...sent fashionistas clamoring for anything by Alber Elbaz. At Mario Testino's exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, she wore a Balenciaga dress and a fur stole, and--poof!--Tom Ford was designing fur stoles. Last summer she turned up at a cosmetics party in a pair of Vivienne Westwood platform pumps, and you can bet that platforms will be big this fall...
...many ways, the branches scattered throughout L.A. are microcosms of society out here. Reflecting the diversity of the city as a whole, the crowds lining up are incredibly mixed, both ethnically and economically. I get to my local Coffee Bean in Westwood at 9:00 every weekday morning.

Takahashi, the 33-year-old founder of fashion house Under Cover, is shaking his head, tugging on his "Nagasaki Nightmare" T shirt and bitching about the spate of anxiety dreams he's been suffering lately...
...Westwood has had a rotten year. The English golfer hasn't won all season. His best finish was 15th, at last month's NEC Invitational in Seattle. Last year, he was ranked No. 4 in the world. Now he's No. 133, the lowest of any player at next week's Ryder Cup. People keep asking whether this fading star has any shine left for his team, and it's getting on his nerves. "People put too much emphasis on [the Cup]," he said two weeks ago, after missing the cut at the European Masters in Switzerland. "It's supposed...
