...wear over 10 weeks. At about $2,500, and available only through doctors, Brava seemed like a device of interest to the highly motivated only. But a year later, it has won some fans. Its makers say the Brava has now been prescribed by 500 doctors and worn by 4,000 women, and will debut in Europe and Asia later this year. Does Brava work? The answer appears to be yes, but very modestly and not without considerable discomfort and inconvenience. The first batch of Brava bravers complained of rashes and started a now defunct website called Brav-Argh. (Brava...
...cannot envision these jolly-ups accurately without picturing two items of clothing often worn by the women: a little cocktail hat and white or black wrist-length gloves. The hat would usually have a small, black veil which would partially cover the face (peering through mesh was considered very sexy). Christian Dior and his “New Look” was the designer of choice and we would wear “knock-offs” of his fashions.

...handheld devices to scan garment tags that are fitted with Texas Instruments' R.F.I.D. (radio frequency identification) technology--the kind embedded in the electronic passes commuters use to zip past tollbooths. A tag scan at Prada accesses details about fabric, size, availability--even a film clip of the garment worn by a model--all of which are displayed on one of the store's ubiquitous flat plasma video screens. At the Brooks Brothers store near New York's Grand Central Terminal, attendants scan the customers. Brooks' Digital Tailoring system, above--manufactured by Textile/Clothing Technology Corp. of Cary, N.C.--uses a full...
...even though Schulz and Wolfe were the hockey voices of the Crimson, and usually a touch more out of breath. Greiner’s play calls to mind aspects of Drew Gellert—on a very bad day, perhaps, but Gellert nonetheless. Admirably, the Harvard uniforms worn by Greiner and his teammate, played by NBA All-Star Ray Allen, are the real deal, and the gym is an admirable attempt at reproducing Lavietes Pavilion’s stands...
