Memorable in more ways than one, since the actual materials were mainly feather light and micro thin metals with a memory that imparted them with unforgettable shapes, twists and dimples.
The silhouette had a Fifties feel, with just below the knee cuts and off the shoulder tops and jackets, recalling a decade that heralded the explosion of the sexual revolution.
The racy quality was evident in the naughty cooper, gold and brass hued bras, open-backed jackets and revealing tummies, marking these clothes out as diametrically opposed to Miuccia's previous "Sexy Nun" collection. The models, finished with pushed up chignons and ladylike pearl earrings, recalled Fifties glamour girls like Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.
Coats came with circuit board patterns, gowns in almost technical blueprints, as Elvis Presley crooned and a steel guitar twanged out the entrance of a femme fatale.
"Metallic yes, but also back to basics," gasped Miuccia to FWD backstage, with a wink that hinted the basics were very bold.
Showing dollops of lingerie frill and trims added to the wicked moment, even if their use as straps on espadrille platforms was a major technical flaw. One poor model collapsed in a terrible tailspin, earning a huge roar of applause for bravely pulling herself up and finishing the catwalk shoes in hand. At least three nearly landed on their tails, partly due to the bizarre catwalk in Prada's Milan headquarters show space. The series of black two-foot-long fish stencils indicated the route, but their slippery finish led to a lot of confusion.

Lily is finally back
Now for some good news: Lily is finally back! Now the bad news: Rufus is wearing denim shirts! In any case, it was great to see these two together again. I love that they went to Landmark's Sunshine Cinema — my favorite New York movie theater, TV Watchers. And that they share a love of Harry Dean Stanton! Didn't Bart basically make her promise to let go of Rufus? Clearly this lady doesn't have much of a memory. I have a feeling things will change once the elder Bass gets back into town.
I loved Blair in her cape, presiding over the projects/rejects of the school. What high school girls wear capes? It fit, though, with the whole inquisition portion of the episode. "Where do you summer?" she asked one candidate. "The Adirondacks," said the girl, embarrassed. Ouch. Clearly she was not a guest at the Vitamin-water product-placement party. Blair was in full bitch mode in this episode, and it could not have been more enjoyable to watch. Leighton Meester is really firing on all cylinders this season.
Poor Jenny. High school is hard enough, but being so completely ignored by Blair and her cool posse is a real bummer. I love that Penelope warned her, "Your day will come. We're just picking our moment." But then when they finally did have their moment, they just emptied out her purse. Laaaame.
At least hobble her with your field hockey stick or something. That reminds me: Since when do these girls participate in athletics? I just can't see them running around. At least not without Fendi field hockey sticks and Gucci sweatbands.
So it appears that Jenny's answer to the mean girls is simply to ditch school and go to her internship. Since Jenny is the worst liar in the world (hello, stolen Valentino dress!), I doubt she's going to be able to get away with this for long.

Fendi in Russia
The business paper Kommersant said the maker of Hennessy cognac and perfumes such as Dior has paid the first installment for the stake, and the deal will be completed by the end of the year.
Under the contract, the paper said, Edinaya Evropa, which owns the Ile de Beaute cosmetics and perfume chain, will also replace L'Etoile as franchiser of LVMH's Sephora perfume and cosmetics brand in Russia.
A source in the Paris-based holding has confirmed talks on the deal, the paper said, adding that Ile de Beaute owner Igor Denisov has declined to comment.
Founded in 1992, Edinaya Evropa runs 103 cosmetics stores across Russia. Its earnings in 2007 stood at about $280 million. It was Russia's third largest distributor after L'Etoile/Sephora, with annual earnings of $760 million, and Arbat Prestige ($530 million) in 2007.
Ile de Beaute has gained more of the market since the Arbat Prestige owner was arrested on tax evasion charges in late January, and the cosmetics retailer faced about $39 million in debt claims. The firm now accounts for about 20% of the market, according to Kommersant.
Analysts cited by the paper said Ile de Beaute could be worth $167-$250 million. Kommersant also said, referring to its sources, that the contract with LVMH allows the Ile de Beaute owners, Denisov and Andrei Gribkov, to open Sephora stores in Russia.
Sephora cosmetic brand's franchiser in Russia is Alcor, also the operator of L'Etoile stores. Earlier reports said Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton was unhappy with L'Etual's policy toward the Sephora brand.
LVMH produces wines and spirits, including top champagne brands like Dom Perignon and Ruinart, fashion and leather goods, perfumes and cosmetics like Dior, Givenchy, Kenzo, and watches. The holding's profit in the first six months of 2008 stood at 7.8 billion euros ($11.3 billion).

Modern art museum in Moscow
Russia rich opens sleek . The news that founding Pink Floyd member Richard Wright has passed away from cancer at age 65 will no doubt bring a barrage of stories detailing the assorted onstage/offstage twists and turns of the group's long career.
And make no mistake: Over the years, the group's combination of both the bizarre and the bitter when it came to their internal affairs was as much a source of fascination to their legions of fans as their often brilliant music,
which have generated enough album/CD sales that if laid end to end would probably stretch from the London architecture school where they first met in the early 1960s all the way to that dark side of the moon and back again--and probably a few round trip's worth at that.
