*More is more for Fall 2000
Flashy logos, plush furs, high-wattage gold -- how do you like your
conspicuous consumption? Find out which designers do luxe best, what items
are key, how to justify the expense, even how to do luxury on a budget.

*About Luxury: Expert Picks
In celebration of fashion's infatuation with all things swanky, the
experts from across the About service pitched in with luxe recommendations
related to their topics. Get ready to dream about the ultimate car,
romantic getaway, cocktail and much more.

*Love that attitude!
The fashion forum is teeming with a modern take on fashion and what we all
really think about the "rules." A sampling:
"I'm 46...I wear what makes me feel good."
http://www.delphi.com/ab-fashion/messages/?lgnF=ymsg=241.20

"The only person who should tell you how to dress is yourself."
http://www.delphi.com/ab-fashion/messages/?lgnF=ymsg=278.9

"My butt is REALLY big, and I find that I get complimented more when I
wear clothes that accentuate it because...we're women, and a large round
perky butt is our trademark over men. You guys need to quit being so self
conscious."

*Coming attraction - Trend test
I'll be the style guinea pig and test the waters each month on trends to
see how well they translate to real life. First up -- big handbags.
Experience firsthand how much they really hold, how they work with
different parts of your wardrobe and whether or not they'll break the bank
or your back!
