What is not immediately obvious as you stroll into the open-plan, 17th-floor offices of Tommy Hilfiger, brightly lit by windows that stare down New York’s Hudson River, is whether you are entering the home of a fashion house or a music label. Sure there are racks of pick’n’mix clothes rolled across the aisles and a [...]
The cross-dressing potter Grayson Perry has come up with a brilliant strategy for making his work look good. It’s such an obvious wheeze, I wonder why others haven’t employed it before. Asked by the Arts Council to select a show from the huge collection of modern British art it has built up, Perry has plumped [...]
We’re not only not in Lakerdom anymore, we’re about as far away as we can get.
This is the Anti-Lakerdom, the place and the time of year when visiting Lakers find the ground giving way under them, to the delight of local fans.

During a vacation in London, I learned that watching a theatrical film is considered a special outing. Most British people attend live stage theater with greater frequency than they do movies. In the United States, the movie theater is an icon. Drive-in theaters were standard entertainment in the 1950s and 60s. Their importance declined, however, [...]
