Selling youth to old people

By Patrice Worthy and Patricia Worthy · Friday, Sept. 19,2003 1:57 a.m.

My observations during fashion week have brought me to the conclusion that people in New York assume fashion is for the 30-and-over crowd. Actually, this observation about the fashion industry has always troubled me. I try to have a casual conversation and it turns into work. I find myself doing an interview or making a connection to find a job.

An attempt to make sense of the human search for love and truth results in the explosion of language that characterizes ".22 Caliber Mouth," a new musical by local singer-songwriter Lauren Roberts.

Bush signed the Global AIDS Act in May that authorized $3 billion to fund global AIDS programs for 2004, but Congress has allocated only $2 billion.

Mixing art with music

By Jennifer Jackson · Tuesday, Sept. 16,2003 1:44 a.m.

The crowd at Boxcar Books Sunday evening looking for live entertainment may have wondered what it was in for when it saw a projector and screen set up next to the guitars and amps at the front end of the store. The crowd didn't need to worry -- no lectures were on the evening's agenda. Artist Andy Friedman and long-time friend and folk-blues musician Paul Curreri stopped into the bookstore and community center, 310A S. Washington St., for the second time in their "Make a Living" tour. Friedman and Curreri, who met at the Rhode Island School of Design, have been playing bars, bookstores and theaters around the country together for a year and a half. Curreri took the stage first, a slight man not quite dwarfed by his acoustic guitar.

Fashion looks to spring

By Patrice Worthy and Patricia Worthy · Monday, Sept. 15,2003 2:13 a.m.

NEW YORK -- This year marks the 10th anniversary of 7th on Sixth, an organization originally formed in 1993 by the Council of Fashion Designers of America to organize, centralize and modernize the New York collections. It has become one of the city's marquee events, attracting thousands. Fashion industry leaders, the worldwide press, buyers, celebrities and politicians make up the mix, and it generates an estimated $253 million for the city's economy each year. This year, 66 designers will present their spring collections from Sept. 12 to 17, and many are making their debut under the tents at Bryant Park. Collections like BodyGear Activewear and Bahar Korcan are showing their creations for the first time at this year's Fashion Week. The popularity of the event has created so much hype that hundreds of people are being denied entrance to many of the most talked-about shows. Baby Phat, Rosa Cha by Amir Slama and Fusha lines were so long their shows were standing room only. In February, the less-than-booming economy didn't add to the already downtrodden mood surrounding the shows. But this season, things are different. A-list celebrities are dominating the red carpet, and designers are supporting others designers by attending shows.
