IT'S A KRISTINA MOMENT

Take a good look at Kristina C, New York Models' freshly minted star and familiarize yourself with these features, because here is the breakout new face of the Spring '02 season. You'll be seeing Kristina's elfin beauty in a forthcoming issue of American Vogue, on the December cover of Italian Vogue photographed by Steven Meisel and doing double duty for both the Miu Miu and Prada campaigns (an unprecedent feat in the history of the company). With patrons like those, this girl is certifiably Inevitable!

CONCEPTUAL CHRISTMAS

In this era of cautious down-sizing, if the infamous black Gucci Christmas tree (complete with logoed mat) is not an option, why not add the L'eau d'Issey eau de toilette spray and body lotion gift set to your last minute gift list? The special holiday packaging comes with a rather abstract idea of a Christmas tree, which is a far more appealing idea than those cheap nylon bags that seem to be the order of the day. Besides, the fragrance is kind of yummy too.
