...stuff free. It's a business! You can't just say, "Ooh, I'll have the whole shop today in every single color!" I've nicked some of my samples--tops, jeans, trousers, the odd evening dress...
...British designer might seem an odd choice to be vice president of men's and women's accessories design at such a quintessentially American company as the Gap, but for Emma Hill, 34, it's been a longtime career goal. Ever since a trip to New York City as a teen, she had it in mind to return to the U.S. to work. "I was obsessed with very American styles like leg warmers," she says.

Even on an average song--and there are a few here--Jones' vocals are indelible. She never fails to choose simple over flamboyant, never holds a note too long. She may prove to be the most natural singer of her generation...
