Animal prints are exotic, feminine and defi nitely add sex appeal, so no wonder they are maintaining their popularity this season. Add a cool colored print to your collection this spring to create a warmer look.

The nautical feel is always one of the biggest stories to emerge for spring, and there’s a way for every woman to wear it. Look for vibrant hues of red, crisp white and classic navy.

Designers have cleverly combined complementary colors, creating a striking intensity to the palette. Punch up your springtime wardrobe with bold colors in tops, dresses and everything in between.

The military look gets a fresh appeal for spring. Cargo military style jackets and vests must go on your “get it now” list. They are hits to help maximize your wardrobe. This softer version of the military vest and dressed up pair of cargos equals perfection throughout the year.

Q:My once-youthful husband is starting toshow his age. How can he update his

image without looking like an idiot?It’s a good question since all too often, middle-aged guys tryingto dress “cool” look just plain silly. Here are a few tips for dress-ing young without looking foolish:

1) Wear clothes that fit. These days, slim (not tight) is in, soanything that’s been hanging in your closet a few years is likelytoo baggy and poorly proportioned. Try a more current fit withnarrower lapels and flat-front trousers. You’re sure to see a differ-ence: even big guys look thinner in fitted clothing.

2) Choose grown-up clothes. Unless you’re on stage with aguitar, ripped jeans and T-shirts are a sign that you’re trying toohard. Premium denim, however, worn with a blazer or soft coat, ismodern and appropriate. (Try a plaid sportcoat this season andget noticed, in a good way!)

3) Pay attention to accessories. Great style is all about makinga personal statement. Nothing updates your look faster than neweyewear; get rid of those dated frames! Splurge on a beautiful beltor bag, handmade footwear or a special watch. This will modern-ize your image and make the whole outfit look expensive.

4) What’s old is new again. Cardigan sweaters, knit vests,bowties, boat shoes, and all manner of preppy prints (argyles,plaids) are back in style. The key to pulling it off: pick just a pieceor two and wear it with confidence. Choose a classic short trenchcoat this spring: it will transform whatever else you’re wearing.

5) Good grooming is all important and the right haircut cantake years off. Don’t even think about a comb-over (sorryDonald): invest in a good stylist or think about shaving it all off.

6) Don’t take fashion so seriously. Add something playful hereand there, even with business attire: bold socks, a fun scarf orpocket square, novelty cufflinks. The only thing worse than tryingtoo hard to dress young is worrying too much about how it allcomes together. If you buy quality, you can’t screw it up too badly.

Q:What’s hot in swimwear for 2011?

After many seasons of long printed board shorts, swimweardesigners are showing more leg. Retro-inspired patterns includingstripes, plaids, batiks and bandanna prints will be popular, espe-cially in happy colors. It’s almost a ’60s feeling: start the diet now… IM

Q:I’ve been wearing leggings andskinny pants for the past few

seasons; are they still in style?Yes, slim pants are still in style. But so are softer, fullermodels. For spring 2011, it’s all about proportion and bal-ance. Choose either slim-fitting tops with tailored fullerpants, or go with volume on top balanced by a slimmerbottom. While there will always be exceptions, this is agood rule of thumb when you’re unsure. Better yet, comeinto the store and let us show you how it works.

Q:I love ruffles but I’m neither tall nor skinny; can I wear them?

Definitely. Ruffles don’t have to be done in a big way. Ifyou’re lucky enough to have height, larger ruffles workeasily. If you’re petite, don’t let the ruffles overwhelmyou: Look for mini ruffles as trim, or one or two soft,draping ruffles. In fact, a slightly ruffled blouse or tank isa great way to temper a too-rigid suit or blazer. The crispwhite ruffled shirt is a wardrobe essential, but otherwisestick to drapey fabrics...so your ruffles won’t have ridges. IM

Q:Are shorts appropriate for the office?

As they say in real estate, it’s about location, location,location. Where you wear shorts and where the hem hitsyour leg should reflect dress codes at your company andwithin your particular industry. If you love wearingshorts and they meet with company standards, keep yourpeers focused on your work (and not your gams) by skip-ping the short shorts. And never go too bare on top whenyou’re wearing shorts—showing too much skin is a dis-traction and sends a less-than-professional message.Finally, keep your shoes casual, yet polished. A neutralwedge, fabric espadrille or cute flat works best.

When in doubt about shorts at the office, don’t wearthem. A skirt that hits just above the knee is a safer bet.

These days, as luxury companiesstrive to update product andimage, one company stands as aparagon of all that is modern,edgy, urbane. Hugo Boss, foundedin 1924 and headquartered inMetzingen, Germany, has longbeen the essence of internationalstyle and the source of directionallifestyle trends.

How to maintain this distinc-tion? For Hugo Boss, it’s a focuson not just fashion, but also art,culture, sports, celebrity, philan-thropy, all key elements of fineliving.

Here, we speak with their U.S.president Mark Brashear aboutcurrent and future business.What are the most excitingthings going on at HugoBoss these days?We just signed a multi-year spon-sorship of Madison SquareGarden and The New YorkKnicks, which will greatlyincrease our exposure and brandawareness.

What are the most impor-tant items and trends formen in spring 2011?Two important directions are:1) denim-driven sportswear fromBOSS Orange, and 2) BOSSGreen, which is active, technicalsportswear.What do most men dowrong when dressing? Howcan guys attain betterstyle?Men tend to want suits that are asize too big, thinking that loose iscomfortable. They don’t realizethat oversized is not flattering.Sticking to a trimmer silhouettewith flat-front pants can make anyman look instantly younger. What’s next on the horizonfor BOSS?We’re using market intelligenceto ensure that we offer our BOSScustomers all that they expectfrom our brands. We have under-taken several initiatives to sup-port this effort. The ability to exe-cute well and to deliver on ourpromises is cornerstone for todayand tomorrow.

When considering an investment, it’s wise to weigh the pros and cons.But when deciding whether to purchase a tuxedo, there is simply no plusside to renting. Formalwear is for life’s milestone events: do you reallywant to spend your important moments in some other guy’s tux?Whether at a wedding, charity gala or professional event, looking andfeeling your best is priceless. Besides, the initial cost will be amortizedafter only a few wearings. Follow these simple pointers to ensure youmake the right choice.

ETIQUITTE: Events touted as ‘black tie’ require atuxedo. ‘White tie’ or ‘full dress’ occasionscall for tails paired with a white pique tieand matching vest. Full dress is only appro-priate after 6 o’clock in the evening and isgenerally requested at weddings, balls ordiplomatic events. COLOR: Black formalwear is classic and the mostwidely accepted, but navy can be worn at festive events,by those brave enough to pull it off with confidence. Historically, whitedinner jackets are appropriate between Memorial Day and Labor Day, andare also generally acceptable on cruises. (If you’re traveling south of the equa-tor, remember that summer runs from late-December through March.)STYLE: The tuxedo was originally designed with a peak lapel. The shawl(rounded) lapel, worn by waiters and the maitre d’, has recently grown in pop-ularity and can be spotted on Hollywood’s red carpets. The notch lapel, styledlike a suit, is also an option. Regardless of shape, tuxedo lapels should alwayshave a satin or silk faille facing in the same color as the suiting fabric. CARE: If you’ve been wild and crazy and have soiled your tux, send it to thecleaner right away. If it’s only wrinkled and you aren’t using it again for at leasta week, put it on a contoured hanger and let the wrinkles hang out. If you’re notplanning to wear it again until “I don’t know when,” hang it, cover with a cloth-ing storage bag that’s open at the bottom, and keep in a dry place. This shouldkeep dust off the shoulders and protect it until your next wearing.

As long as your tux fits, you should continue to wear it. Minor alterations caneasily be made by a skilled tailor at our store. And when it finally becomes timeagain to invest in an updated model, this should reassure you: the life of yourtuxedo will always be longer than that of your wife’s gown.

Experience life’s little luxuries. By Donald Charles Richardson

Sommelier Richard Patino from TheFrench Room, at The Adolphus inDallas, offers perfect pairing sugges-

tions for your upcoming barbecues. For awonderful white, there’s Francois PinonCuvée Silex Noir, Vouvray 2008, a CheninBlanc from France’s Loire Valley that isslightly “off-dry” but retains bright acidityto complement sweet honey BBQ sauce.Another is Au Bon Climat Chardonnay,Santa Maria Valley 2008, which matcheswell with chicken or shellfish. For summerreds, try d’Arenberg Footbolt Shiraz,McLaren Vale 2008, a 100 percent Shirazfrom Australia. This wine has red fruit aro-mas with spicy undertones, so it pairs wellwith short ribs. For beef or pork, drink A.Rafanelli Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley 2008,with characteristics of jammy fruit and ahint of black pepper. At fancy occasions,Patino suggests Domaine De La Solitude,Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2009. But, he says, theperfect BBQ wine is Lambert BridgeForchini Vineyard Zinfandel, Dry CreekValley 2007. This versatile Zinfandel isequally amazing with baby back ribs,brisket, or cheeseburgers.

The CEO of a Fortune 500 company wanted a TV he could view from his bathroomsink, but didn’t want to see it when not in use. Joshua Rich, president of Rich AVDesign, which specializes in unique and one-of-a-kind electronic installations, creat-ed a vanity mirror that turns into a television. When the TV is off, it’s a regular bath-room mirror; when the TV is on, a portion of the mirror becomes a 19” HDTV. Richhas also handled the installation of custom anamorphic movie screens that adapt tothe varying aspect ratios of movies and TV shows, and arranged media rooms withmotorized chairs and automated lights. He can even make a ‘butt remote,’ a simplecontrol that powers on your entire home theater when you sit on the sofa. It gives theterm ‘smartass’ a whole new meaning.

Austin-Lehman Adventures specializes inexplorations that combine outdoor activities such ashiking, rafting and horseback riding with nightsspent at distinctive inns. Or they’ll craft a specialtrip and you can see the sights in your own way. Fora family reunion, the company flew guests to aMontana ranch where they enjoyed fishing lessons,horseback riding and a tour of Yellowstone NationalPark led by a private wildlife expert. On anotheroccasion, the company arranged for a gentleman totreat his twin grandsons to six national parks in fivedays by private jet. And when a Chicagobusinessman wanted a unique celebration for hiswife’s 60th birthday, Austin-Lehman set up cocktails in the surf of Kauai at sunset and sent a helicopter to releasehundreds of pounds of rose petals around the couple as they toasted. Where in the world do you want to go?

bout four hours from Athens, in the Greek Peloponnese, is one of the most fascinating hotels in Greece: theKinsterna Hotel and Spa. Once the estate of an Ottoman judge, now grandly refurbished and elevated to mem-bership in the Historic Hotels of Greece, this Byzantine-era mansion sits on the side of a hill, sequestered amid

vineyards and olive and citrus groves, facing MonemvasiaCastle and the Aegean. The main buildings are a histori-cal assortment of Byzantine, Ottoman, Venetian and mod-ern Greek architecture. Inside the restored stone walls the27 suites have fireplaces and marble bathrooms, the spaoffers a purifying traditional Ottoman hammam, and theswimming pool begins as a brook feeding off the ancientcistern and grows to run like a river through centuries-oldorange trees. Opened just last year, the Kinsterna hasalready become popular with celebrities and heads ofstate who relish the solitude of the tranquilMediterranean environment. K

Ganassi Racing in NASCAR. Here,Forum gets the scoop on whatdrives this motorsports superstar.

You’ve gone from being aracecar driver to a drivingforce in motor racing. Whichrole is more fulfilling?While I was growing up inPittsburgh, I always had visions ofsitting atop one of these buildingsand running a company. When Istarted in motor racing I neverthought it would be my career; Ifigured it would be a weekendactivity, nothing more. Althoughthere was no period in my lifemore exciting than the time I was aracecar driver, it was then that Irealized I loved motorsports as abusiness. So I’d have to say whatI’m doing now is most fulfilling.

As a former driver, do youever have the urge to climbinto the racecar yourself?

No, we currently have six driversin five cars, and although I mayhave the urge sometimes to giveadvice on how to drive, I don’t.Because I was once a driver I havea connection to what they’re goingthrough, so I think I bring some-thing to the table beyond justbeing an owner and manager.

When Lotus developed theground effects car in the late1970s, James Hunt retiredfrom racing, saying he didn’twant to be an irrelevant part(less than 50 percent) of thedriver/car equation. Whatpercentage of the equationare drivers today?I have a lot of respect for JamesHunt and he was a good driver, butas racing cars evolve technically, itmay make some drivers obsolete. Atthe same time, it will bring otherdrivers along. These days, you needto have it all: 100 percent car, 100percent driver, 100 percent crew.

You’ve been at this sport for 30years; what has been yourmost memorable event?Qualifying for my firstIndianapolis 500 in 1982, just 10days after I graduated from col-lege. I had just turned 23 and I wasthe fastest rookie at Indianapolisthat year. Since then we’ve had alot of great wins in great cars withgreat drivers, but that day in 1982was when it all began.

The Target Chip Ganassirelationship seems to gobeyond dollars and cents.How does a business rela-tionship acheive this kind ofsynergy?I feel fortunate to have been a part

of Target when their company wasgrowing. When I first met themthey had 400 stores; today thereare 1700. Target embraces changeand they’re often at the leadingedge. Our values, our work ethicsand our views of things are verymuch aligned, and when you arethat aligned, you end up with agood relationship. It’s that simple.

When Jamie McMurray wonthe Brickyard 400, youbecame the first team ownerto win America’s triplecrown. How did that feel?I’m more pleased that all six of mydrivers have won at least one racethis year. That to me is more excitingthan me winning the triple crown.

Since Forum is a fashionand lifestyle magazine, tellus about your fashion sense. I’m in the sports business and somy personal style is centered oncasual sportswear. I enjoy wearingmy Zegna suits, but obviously Iwould look a bit out of place at therace track dressed that way.

What was your last clothingpurchase and what mightyou buy next? My last purchase was that Zegnanavy blazer you see hanging on thewall over there. My next purchasewill be a Loro Piana scarf.

What do you do to relax? A few years ago I moved out to FoxChapel, Pennsylvania; I love beingaround my house, swimming in mypool in the summer and skiing inthe winter. I enjoy feeding the fishin my fish pond and also doingyard work. It’s about as far fromracecar driving as it gets.

ormer supermodel and cur-rent co-host of Bravo’s TopChef, Padma Lakshmi, is wellversed in multitasking. Shelaunched her jewelry collec-

tion, Padma, two years ago, but inaddition to her roles as televisionhost and jewelry maker, Lakshmi isan author, Pantene spokesperson,co-founder of the EndometriosisFoundation of America and, mostrecently, a mother.

Let’s start with food: How did youfirst get involved with cooking?The kitchen was the place thewomen in my family congregated.My mother was famous for feedingpeople spontaneously: If youshowed up at her house unan-nounced, she could whip some-thing up in a half-hour or less. If

she had something like leftoverchicken, she’d throw it in a stock-pot and make a stew. I call this“MacGyvering in the kitchen.”

Can you discuss the leap fromsupermodel to food expert?To me, it made sense. I alwaysloved to cook, but after college Istarted modeling to pay off myloans. I had studied theatre, butmost of my career was spent infashion—first as a model then asan editor with Harper’s Bazaarand The New York Times. [Food]was just a natural extension forme. Both food and fashion areabout good taste.

What are some of your mostmemorable Top Chef moments?There are so many! There was this

one dessert, however, a few sea-sons back…Ariane [Duarte] madethis lemon curd that was so sourand so sweet that it was hard totake more than one dollop of it.And Ariane is such a nice woman,I felt awful. (Editor’s note: Lakshmispit the dessert out.)

Can you tell us what you noticefirst in a man? I don’t like a man to look too per-fect, nor do I like a man to look toosloppy. The first thing I notice ishis face, the second is his voiceand what he’s using it to say.

What’s next for you?I don’t have a master plan, but I’mlooking forward to spending moretime with my daughter and tryingto rest a little. I just finished film-ing and I’m pretty beat! I’d love togo to Bali, maybe do an eating tourof Thailand. You’d think I’d be sickof eating…but I’m not!

hen MichelangeloAntonioni’s Blow-Up pre-miered in 1966, the life of a“shooter” was depicted asglamorous, exotic—and

expensive. Forty-five years later,disposable digital cameras can behad at the corner drugstore for 12bucks, the top-rated Nikon Coolpixpoint-and-shoot costs around $250and even a decent single lensreflex camera can be had for $500.Throw in some free online soft-ware and anyone can be the nextAnsel Adams. Photography’s allurehas become positively democratic.Where’s the glamour in that?

In an effort to reinstate the cam-era as a luxury accessory, Germanoptics company Leica partneredwith French luxury goods firmHermès to create the Leica M7Edition Hermès last year. Only 200were produced, each encased inHermès’s signature orange or“étoupe” brown Swiss calfskin,retailing for about $14,250.

Needless to say, at this point, it’stoo late to get one.

Never fear. Set your sights on theLeica M9 Titanium, designed byWalter de’Silva, chief designer forthe Volkswagen Group, and the cre-ative genius behind various AlfaRomeos, Audis and VWs. Again thecamera is trimmed in leather—thistime using hides typicallyreserved for the interiors of pre-mium Audi automobiles. Thebody is made fromsolid titanium andeach comes with aLeica Summilux-M35mm f/1.4 ASPHlens, meaning that

your photos, no matter how poorlycomposed, will come out crystalclear and razor sharp. The camera’sgrip is enhanced by a speciallydesigned and embossed diamondstructure. Which is good because at$26,500, you wouldn’t want to dropthis baby. Magnanimously, Leicaupped the limited edition to 500units, so you might actually stand achance of procuring one.

But if you want to get yourhands on the Hasselblad LimitedH4D Ferrari Edition, you need tomove a bit faster: they limited pro-duction to only 499....

More than two decades after hisuntimely death, Andy Warhol’sbold imprint on fashion remainsstrong and vibrant. Then and now,The Warhol Look reflects theartist’s distinct blend of fashion,glamour and style. And no matterhow it’s framed—runway show,museum exhibition, window dis-play, or magazine illustration—Warhol’s work has a uniquely time-less appeal.

In the second half of the 20thcentury, The Warhol Look reignedsupreme. The artist’s influencecrossed genres, genders and gen-erations as his work grew moreexpansive and popular. It was con-troversial. It was iconic, yet con-temporary. And it constantlychanged to reflect the times...justas Warhol had hoped.

His diversity of styles (those hecreated through his art as well asembodied in appearance anddemeanor) still offer limitlessinspiration for today’s artisans.Pop Art has been “embraced anddisseminated by the fashion indus-try,” says art historian MarcoLivingstone.

Warhol’s bold color palette,

strongly influenced by his vastFiestaware collection, is consid-ered at the same time nostalgicand nouveau. And his glamoroussubjects—Marilyn Monroe,Elizabeth Taylor and EdieSedgwick to name but a few—still

fascinate and inspire designs onand off the runway.

According to Alice Mackrell’sbook Art and Fashion, designerYves Saint Laurent considered hisgreat friend Warhol to be “inspir-ing in everything he did.” For

Betsey Johnson and other accom-plished designers, the WarholLook was manifested in dressesmade from paper, plastic andmetal. Other prominent examplesinclude Jean-Charles deCastelbajac’s vibrant dresses print-ed with Warhol motifs, GianniVersace’s “Marilyn Monroe” dressand Philip Treacy’s limited editioncollection of hats and bags featur-ing iconic Warhol images.

And at spring 2011 New YorkFashion Week, Diane vonFurstenberg channeled her veryown Andy Warhol portrait throughblaring pink lips on the otherwisefresh faces of her runway models.“At some point in the creativeprocess we pulled the picture,”noted von Furstenberg onstylelist.com. “I was young in the’70s and all these clothes remindme of my youth.”

Warhol’s influence reached fur-ther than fashion, to commercialand fine art, filmmaking, and pub-lishing. In fact, his Interview maga-zine is considered by many to bethe pinnacle of the artist’s obses-sion with style. “Interview was thefirst pop culture magazine,” saysPaige Powell, its former associatepublisher. “It set trends rather thanfollowed them. It was in themoment, not dated.” Not surpris-ingly, Warhol’s passion for celebri-ty led to his creation of Interview.“He wanted to be part of the city ina bigger way…and felt if he had afilm magazine, they would let himinto the premieres. And they did!”

Moreover, The Warhol Look (thecatalog supporting the 1997 to1999 exhibition of the same name)also established that “today’smerging of art and fashion is inlarge measure the legacy of Andy

Warhol” and that “fashionis the connective tissuejoining what previouslyappeared as disparateelements” in his work.

The Andy WarholMuseum, which organizedthe exhibition The WarholLook, is one of the most compre-hensive single-artist museums inthe world. At the end of their 15thanniversary celebration, the muse-um’s former director, TomSokolowski, and archival staff pro-vided the following examples togive us a deeper appreciation ofWarhol’s expansive footprint.

MODELS & MUSICIn the mid-1960s, Warhol featuredmany fashion models in his films.This was especially evident in hisseries of Screen Test portrait filmsthat included blonde “Baby Jane”Holzer (a sought-after fashionmodel among David Bailey and

other top photographers and thewoman who introduced Warhol toMick Jagger), leggy Donyale Luna(the first African-American super-model), icy Nico (a former modelturned musician with ties to BobDylan, Brian Jones, and ultimately,The Velvet Underground), and IvyNicholson (a top cover girl of theearly 1960s).

GLAMOUR & FILMIn 1965 Warhol made more than 10films (and numerous publicappearances) with Edie Sedgwick,the trendsetting tragic beauty whois still regarded as a fashion icon.The films include Beauty #2, PoorLittle Rich Girl, Face, Lupe andKitchen, among others.

DESIGNERS &TELEVISION

After years ofsocializing withfashion design-ers such as

Halston (whosecocktail dress of

light, slinky fabricwas printed with Warhol’s

bold, bright 1965 Flowers image),in 1979 Warhol produced a multi-part television series titledFashion, which focused on thework of the top designers of theday.

In later TV series in the mid-1980s, Andy Warhol’s TV and AndyWarhol’s Fifteen Minutes, Warholcontinued to present the work of(at the time) current designerssuch as Stephen Sprouse, whobased an entire season’s line onWarhol’s Camouflage paintings.

A great wardrobe, like DIY furniture, looks bestwhen the pieces fit. By Hans Gschliesser

DESIGN YOURSELF

AS YOU BUILD YOUR WARDROBE WITHQUALITY PIECES, YOU’LL CULTIVATE THATDISCERNING EYE THAT RECOGNIZESA GOOD INVESTMENT.

You’ve arrived! You’ve moved away from thrift shop finds andembraced a designer aesthetic. You’ve trashed the worn futonand are now sitting pretty on a Mies van der Rohe sofa. Goneare the days of piecing together tag sale furniture in the hopesof creating a cohesive look that echoes your lifestyle. And so itshould be for your wardrobe.

You’re busy, and your time is too valuable to rely on bargainbasement sales. Maybe you’ll get lucky and stumble onsomething that’s the right color or style, if it even fits. Likely not.

So take the experts’ advice: find a look that works for you and shop in a store that consistently delivers the goods.

Sometimes the best option is to focus on a single designer,like Zegna or Canali or Ralph Lauren. Find one with a fit thatworks for your body type and a look that reflects your attitude.Once you’ve got the foundation, you can round out yourwardrobe with items from other designers and brands.

Many interior designers these days choose to strike a balancebetween modern and classic. This applies to your appearanceas well. Learn to make your look work without seeming forcedor over-styled. Pare each outfit down to the essentials and you’llbe perceived as confident and competent.

And remember: you’re a work in progress. As you build yourwardrobe with quality pieces, you’ll cultivate that discerningeye that recognizes a good investment. It all adds up.
