David Cook could certainly handle Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, although with him there's always the possibility any tune will be taken to the corner of Pain Street and Anguish Avenue and left to die. A better choice for him would be an unstressed version of Solitary Man. Syesha could swing Brother Love fairly well, too. Other Diamond reliables include Sweet Caroline and I'm a Believer. Archie might profit at this point from doing something upbeat and light-hearted. Don: It's a man down there I prefer Diamond's '60s material, mostly because he hadn't started to take himself so seriously. If Brooke gets to do You Don't Bring Me Flowers— and instead of going over the top with it, gets intimate — she'll pick up enough super-delegates to clinch the nomination for president of the Pity Party and ride that tsunami of sentiment for another seven days. Nobody else but David C. can do Solitary Man, Cherry Cherry or Kentucky Woman. He's a man among boys. And all he's got to do is let his performance reflect that.

Charlie: 'America' for Archuleta

Diamond could be an Idol's best friend or his worst enemy. You Don't Bring Me Flowers is probably too big a hit to ignore, and I can see Syesha wanting to take a stab at it. I would recommend Thank the Lord for the Night Time for Brooke; she needs to do something to show she's still having fun.

Somebody is bound to do America this week, and it might as well be David A. Sure, some will moan and groan about David getting all uplifting again, but everyone saw Kristy Lee Cook buy three additional weeks with God Bless the USA.

I'm sure there will be an expectation that the dreadlocked kid will want to do Red Red Wine, but it might be wise to avoid overt paeans to alcohol on Idol. Jason just might be able to get away with doing Song Sung Blue.

Gene: O 'Brother,' whose art thou?

Unwise song choices could lead contestants into territory every bit as lachrymose and pomp-larded as the preceding two weeks. But all things considered, Diamond's repertoire offers an abundance of usable, even inspiring, material.

But the fit technology of Chantelle impressed Seymour. "I was wearing Chantelle before they even considered using me," she said.

Chantelle CEO Patrice Kretz said the emphasis for the brand in the coming year would be on the enlargement of their their product range to include more exclusive and luxurious fashion-forward styles. At the core of the brand are the bras, he said, but they are making them "more fun and more seductive" said Kretz.

Lace and a diverse selection of colors have been key to Chantelle's success in France, while in the U.S. 50 percent of their sales are in more basic styles. Kretz said that for the U.S. market, they have developed styles that bridge functionality with fashion - smooth cups, practical for t-shirt wearing - but with a hint of seductiveness in the form of a lacy back.

For women just beginning to embrace lingerie as a fashion statement and the concept of buying good foundations, Seymour had this to say.

To help raise the profile of the company, last year they signed on supermodel Stephanie Seymour as the face of the brand. Her curves are well known: Seymour was once a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model as well as a model for Victoria's Secret.

"Put the right undergarment on and you are transformed," said Seymour at a luncheon on Friday, April 18, in New York to celebrate the new Chantelle ad campaign shot by Peter Lindbergh.

Seymour, adjusting a pair of reading glasses, ("I'm no librarian," joked Seymour) spoke to a group of editors about her own transformative experience with Chantelle.

"The first time I put a corset on, I was really impressed with my waist and my bust," said Seymour. "In my twenties, I didn't really wear too many bras......I always had a difficult time finding one, because I'm tiny but busty."

His new wife, Italian model and singer, the former Carla Bruni Tedeschi, will join the hyper energetic president at the ceremony. Speculation will be rife about what Madame Sarkozy will wear to the ceremony. On Sarkozy’s much-publicized state visit to the UK in March, Carla’s wardrobe was Christian Dior. However, Carla is not unfamiliar with Giorgio’s oeuvre; she wore a silvery white evening dress by Armani when she carried the Italian flag at the opening ceremony of the XX Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Armani will also receive the distinction just before he celebrates his 74th birthday on July 11. Armani, a one-time student of medicine and subsequently a department store window dresser, founded his fashion house in 1974. He went on to create a label that last year scored annual sales of 1.7 billion euros, or $2.95 billion. Armani is famed for his minimalist silhouette, "non-color" palette and revolutionary men’s fashion concepts, such as dressing guys in fabrics traditionally used by women

Sarkozy will confer the honor on Amani this summer in Paris when the Italian designer will be in town to stage the latest collection from his haute couture line, Armani Prive, on Monday, June 30. A spokesman for Armani declined any comment, but well informed sources told FWD that Sarkozy has invited Armani to the presidential residence in the Elysees Palace to receive his recognition. Most designers and actors, such as Valentino, Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz or thespian Jack Nicholson, are traditionally presented their ribboned Legion of Honor at a ceremony in the grand and gilded salon of the Ministry of Culture on rue de Valois, the heart of the Palais Royal.

But he said this year's event also had arguably the strongest line-up of designers and international buyers to date.

"The international interest has been tremendous," said Lock, who has his sights set on making Sydney the world's fifth fashion capital after New York, London, Milan and Paris.

More than 60 Australian labels are now exported, worth an estimated $240 million a year, with interest on the rise.

The Australian Trade Commission, Austrade, said representatives from top fashion houses in the United States, Britain, Canada, Italy, Singapore, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Hong Kong, China and New Zealand were attending fashion week with Indonesia bringing the largest delegation.

"Many Indonesian people are luxury brand conscious but also interested in Australian fashion for its fresh and innovative appeal," said Tjut Devi, a spokeswoman for Austrade Indonesia.

"The helmets were representative of the rebels and disorder in "A Clockwork Orange" while I used metallic sheens as these can make women look beautiful."

Avakian, who studied fashion in Italy and London, admitted his shift from tow truck driver to designer might seem rather odd but he put it down to one half of his Armenian family being panelbeaters and the other half dressmakers.

Feminine tailored shorts, silky satin tops and colorful flowing gowns appeared on the catwalk courtesy of Lisa Ho, who is worn by the likes of Jennifer Lopez while fashion house Zimmermann offered short summer dresses in floral patterns with folds and pleats.

Paris-based Michelle Jank presented a collection inspired by her work in India while Nicole Finetti's thigh-high dresses vied for attention with front-row celebrities such as actresses Mischa Barton and Miranda Otto and singer Danni Minogue.

Simon Lock, who founded Australian Fashion Week in 1995 but sold it to New York-based sports, lifestyle and marketing company IMG in 2005, said the increased number of celebrities in attendance was part of the event's growth.

Over 100 buyers from 15 countries have descended on Sydney for the 13th Australian Fashion Week where over 100 new and established Australian designers are on show, ranging from the well-known Alex Perry to newcomers like Daniel Avakian.

Avakian, a former tow truck driver, chose to base his second collection on Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" with models in black, white, and silver fabrics tailored into pod, diamond and geometric shapes.

"I've always been into sci-fi, Orson Welles, George Lucas, so it was only a matter of time before I based a collection on this," Avakian told Reuters backstage after his show which ended with two models in floor length coats and crash helmets.

Before the show, Parsons Womenswear Designer of the Year Stephanie Suberville described her starting point for her final collection.

"I wanted to show who I am, and a lot of who I am as a designer comes from my background," said Suberville, who grew up in Monterrey, Mexico and whose grandparents owned a department store. "I come from a French background, but I am actually Mexican. As a Mexican and as a woman I have always been very inspired by Frida Kahlo, but it was very important for me to not be the Mexican student doing Frida Kahlo. So instead of focusing on her paintings, I focused on her personal life. Frida always said that her whole life was based on two tragedies: Her back accident and her love for Diego Rivera. So it's a very dark, very romantic collection."

From corsets to pants to a wedding dress, Suberville brought a very light, ethereal touch to her thesis collection, which brimmed with intricate details like pleated layers of ombre-dyed organza that floated on top of one another like a towering wedding cake. The Kahlo reference was not literal, as Suberville promised, but more an expression of a life lived in pain like Kahlo's, where support hangs by a thread: The lace of a corset or the gauzy effect of being swaddled in raw white silk, as though bandaged.

Other students selected to show their collections - all designers to keep an eye on - included Boram Oh, Kirstyn Catlett, Nayeon Lee, Yoon Jeong Gee, Sunghiun (Seonghyun) In, Amira Marion, Judy (Yun-Chu) Lee, Hanmin Kim, Sarah Law, Samantha Aprea, Heezu Hwang, Dominique Cammaert, Spencer Phipps, Melissa Luning, Wen Shi, Sylvia Kwan, Andrew Rogers, Esther Marina Shimberg, Hye Seong (Clara) Yoo, Yoon Jung Ha, Grace Shin, Aiden (Seunghoon) Yoo, Bo Bae Lee, HJ Lee, Cullen Meyer, Sara Shahbazi, Rachel Rymar, Hernan Garcia, Woomi Pyo, Freyja Van Noort, Hyun Ah Choi, Jigon Son and Angela (Yang Zi) Gaoxia.

"It's an incredibly tough and competitive industry, but I think that's good," Gunn continued. "It means you have to be agile, you have to have your antenna up for all the variables that can possibly happen and you have to have a steady path. It doesn't have to be a straight path. It needs to navigate curves wherever they may happen to lie."

If the BFA collections shown on Monday night are any indication, then the latest round of graduates certainly have the talent in place to be successful and the technical ability. The highlight of the evening was the fashion show featuring the top BFA students' collections, and in many respects it was almost more exciting than four weeks of fashion weeks combined. There was the thrilling sense of the possibility of something new, something fresh and something never-before-seen. The excitement in the room was palpable, and the polished and professional collections drove the point home of Parsons' success as design educators.

"Thank you, Anderson," von Furstenberg said as she stepped onstage, and joked, "you sounded like an American Express commercial!"

Von Furstenberg encouraged graduates to be fearless as well, and not to be intimidated by press, buyers, retailers because "we're all one big happy family....Don't waste time. Life goes on and before you know it you'll be here where I am today."

With Parsons graduates like Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler preceding the current crop of BFA students - upon graduating the duo immediately went on to sell their collection to Barneys New York and were met with instant critical acclaim - young designers today might harbor the expectation of early fame, or perhaps be met with supporters pushing for their quick success. So is there too much hype surrounding new designers today, too soon?

"It is definitely a challenge when you are young and starting out to meet the expectations that people have of you," said Tim Gunn. "I face this every day with the 'Project Runway' designers. The world's view of what they should be achieving is completely unrealistic. It's a long maturation process. But when you do put yourself out there in that manner, there is an expectation. My hope is that the designers are prepared to meet it."

As dinner commenced, Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz introduced Howard Socol, praising him for his personal approach and ability to inspire a family-like spirit in the company. Every year for the past seven years, said Elbaz, when he visited Barneys stores in New York and L.A. for semi-annual trunk shows, he always saw the same sales associates working the floor. "When I see the same people still there, I see longevity, loyalty and happy people loving what they are doing," said Elbaz. "You need to be cool and you need to have commerce," said Socol about his philosophy for the store. "Listen to the suits," was Socol's advice to the new graduates. "They will help you be successful and flourish. And to the suits: Being cool, creative, artistic, that always wins out." CNN anchor Anderson Cooper introduced Diane von Furstenberg. Cooper, whose mother is designer Gloria Vanderbilt, characterized von Furstenberg as the epitome of "strength, glamour and mystery." Describing an experience he'd recently had hiking with her, said von Furtsenberg "hikes as she does all things - fearlessly. Her body slants forward as if wanting to meet the future first."

Victoria's Secret

Von Furstenberg, who is also the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, which counts numerous Parsons grads as members, donated $250,000 to the school herself. Parsons also announced the appointment of Simon Collins, the new dean of the undergraduate and graduate fashion department, who replaced Tim Gunn as of this past Friday after an exhaustive search. Gunn, who appears on Bravo's "Project Runway" and "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style," took a position at Liz Claiborne as chief creative officer in 2007. Collins has more than 20 years experience in the industry with companies like Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Fila, Zegna and Marks and Spencer.

He was quoted as saying that he had met with managers of British private equity firm CVC Capital Partners and "liked them."

Cavalli, famous for his animal print design, owns brands Roberto Cavalli and Just Cavalli.

In October, Cavalli told Reuters he would consider selling as much as 30 percent of his firm, which he valued at over 2 billion euros ($3.04 billion).

But since then, stock markets have declined and the global economy has weakened, reducing investor appetite for equity.

One banker familiar with the luxury goods sector said in March a valuation was then closer to one billion than two billion euros.

Cavalli's larger rivals, Prada and Salvatore Ferragamo, are still planning to sell shares to the public this year, market conditions permitting.

This month, the Italian press quoted Prada Chief Executive Patrizio Bertelli as saying the Milanese fashion house wanted to list but was in no hurry.

Three or four investment funds are interested in the Florence-based company and bids will have to value it at least 1.4 billion euros ($2.18 billion), Radiocor said.

Cavalli said last month its adviser Merrill Lynch would soon start an auction process by sending an information memorandum to potential investors.

U.S. private equity firm Blackstone was interested in taking a stake in Cavalli, a person familiar with the matter said in March. A different source said Carlyle Group was also considering it.

An Italian newspaper report has quoted fashion designer Roberto Cavalli as saying in an interview that Merrill Lynch has prepared a list of around 15 interested parties.
