*Design Byte: Calvin Klein
His unwavering devotion to spare, modern styles has earned Calvin Klein a
spot in every urban sophisticate's closet; his innovative approach to
making men's underwear sexy and a unisex fragrance hot make him popular
with men and teens as well.
Find out more about this legendary designer and how to get the Fall 2000
look for yourself.

*Brush up on your Italian
Drop by the "Designer Pronunciation" page and hit the new Italian audio
additions by Italian Language Guide Michael San Filippo. It's free and
easy and it'll up your style IQ faster than you can say Ermenegildo Zegna.
Don't miss the French designers on the same page, too.

*Thongs: Nice or nasty?
Pros: "Even with jeans, I find the thong very comfortable and very
sexy."

Cons: "Thongs are so nasty.....on most people they look bad, like the
person is obviously trying to get men to notice them, which is cheap and
tasteless in my view."

---------------Gotta have it ---------------
Those huge flowers that are popping up on fashionistas like the "Sex and
the City" gals add a touch of girlie glam to everything from suits to
shoes to sweaters. Purpleskirt.com's $42 style is a clip-on silk blossom
with a beaded center, available in five colors.
