...release. Yet the Israeli army which has controlled access to Nablus since the intifadeh erupted five years ago allowed Abu-Assad to film there. It was the first full-scale movie production the city had ever seen. Desperate for entertainment, residents elbowed each other for a front-row view of the daily shoots, and a few sharp locals rented plastic chairs to the crowds. Inevitably, the project also raised hackles among Palestinian paramilitaries. Feuding factions in some of the West Bank's refugee camps suspected that Abu-Assad - with an Israeli co-producer on the team - might undermine the martyrdom...

And since 2001, when she took the line over from her former boss, Stella McCartney, her breezy, romantic look has become the uniform of fashion-obsessed celebrities and front-row types. "For two solid years I've sold out of the stuff the minute it hits the floor," says Tracey Ross, owner of her eponymous West Hollywood boutique.
