...after his death, Poiret's estate sold roughly 500 pieces to New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The result is "Poiret: King of Fashion," which runs at the Met's Costume Institute until Aug. 5. Fifty ensembles showcase Poiret's eclectic exoticism. Harem pants worn by his wife, Denise, at his legendary Arabian-themed Thousand and Second Night party in 1911 are displayed with the Hellenic evening gown worn by dancer Isadora Duncan to his Bacchus party in 1912. Denise, whose lithe body was perfect for his creations, was his muse. The couple divorced...

Paula Viesturs, Ed's wife, had been making potato soup in the cook tent at the 17,600-ft. base camp and stepped outside for a moment. Looking down, she saw a bank of huge, bruise-colored clouds rolling up the mountain. Clouds like that were almost certainly carrying a storm, and this storm appeared to be climbing fast.
