...material mattered more than the scene?more than the next It handbag. I remember visiting Yves Saint Laurent's studio for an haute couture preview when the designer himself was still working, fitting dresses on models. Saint Laurent and his aide-de-camp Loulou de La Falaise were yanking huge bolts of color-saturated Abraham silk down from the shelves and spinning out a fantasy scene of a hot summer day in New Orleans circa 1860, complete with big taffeta skirts and wide-brimmed hats. It was as if the fabric were speaking to him?and so vividly that even...
...Prada's fabric research, and she draws on her archives, which include endless shelves of swatch books dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s as well as old fabric stocks that she has bought out and stored in warehouses in Tuscany.

Under the law, companies can deal with both the central Ministry of Oil, as well as regional entities.
