Personal lobbying helped to overcome some political obstacles. For weeks, Mittal made the George V Hotel in Paris his home base, jetting around Europe to shake hands and put his case to anyone who would listen.

Because as of late, despite what you might see in section or in Lowell dining hall, fashion—at least on the runway—is finding its Harvard niche.
