Celebrities. We love to hate them. We also love to watch their every move, laugh at their mistakes and scrutinize their decisions.

I'm only asking because I have recently returned from chairing the Kyoorius Designyatra conference in Mumbai (see review ...

PARIS - Japanese label Issey Miyake sent out a spinning wheel of color for its eye-popping spring-summer 2010 ready-to-wear collection Friday.

His models strutted their high-voltage, rhinestone-covered stuff on the stage of Paris' notorious Crazy Horse cabaret in a show that was every bit as thrilling - if a tad less salacious - than the strip teases usually on offer at "le Crazy," as it's often called here. In keeping with the high hemlines at Balmain and Arora, Belgian-born designer Bruno ...

It may be summer, but it’s cold out there: Thousands of companies of all sizes have frozen hiring and salaries, putting many workers’ earnings expectations on ice for the time being. But many employers continue to make job offers even as they reduce overall headcount. More than 4 million hires were made in April 2009, according to the Job Openings and ...

The recession has been hard on most of us. But for self-employed, freelance artists in any discipline it's become a dire situation. Jobs and sales have gotten fewer and less paid.
