...tearing down the image of Dior and rebuilding to fit a vision uniquely his own. Slimane achieved fame in fashion circles in 1996 with his sleek, sexy designs for the Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche men's label. His clothes are unique in men's wear-slim leather coats, narrow suits and sheer shirts-subtle and elegant pieces that focus more on the cut than on styling flourishes. Critics labeled him either modern or feminine-the latter characterization supported by the fact that the stars he has dressed include Madonna...
...framework of men's wear is so narrow, that when you play at the edges you get labelled," Slimane says. Universally recognized as one of the most talented designers working today, Slimane was bombarded with offers after the YSL sale-reportedly from Prada Group to design the women's collection for Jil Sander and from Gucci Group to set up a collection in his own name. Signing Slimane was a major coup for Arnault in the battle between Gucci and LVMH. Slimane said he chose Dior because he wanted his own atelier and was intrigued by the idea of creating...

There were two lines - one for working press, the other for the public - of about a dozen people each stretching along a narrow corridor on the seventh floor. At around 9 a.m. members of Combs' legal team - including Johnnie Cochran and Benjamin Brafman - squeezed past everyone and, minutes later, the rest of us were...
...Young people's casual attitudes towards voting are a reasoned response--not the outgrowth of an irresponsible, apathetic bunch of channel surfers. But I do not argue that youth should not vote. Rather, I note that our old wives' tales are narrow in scope. Instead of inefficiently pushing young people to vote by telling us that we will change the outcome of an election (an obvious stretch), we should be told that by voting youth can change the political climate in which elections are conducted...
