<p><font size="1">A security guard is on the run abroad today after
the theft of �1.5 million in cash and jewels from fashion house
Versace's flagship store in Old Bond Street. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Scotland Yard officers are combing flight records
and liaising with officials at ports and airports as an international
manhunt began today. Interpol has joined the investigation and it
is believed they are working closely with Spanish authorities on
the Costa del Sol. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The unnamed security guard is said to have disappeared
after emptying the safe at the end of the working day when the London
store was closed for the weekend. Staff at the boutique reported
the theft to police when they returned to work two days later. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Several pieces of jewellery, including a �250,000
ring, are believed to have been stolen - but an envelope containing
�180 belonging to a fellow member of staff, was left behind. Police
are understood to have been asked by the store's managers not to
make any public appeals but Scotland Yard was today forced to confirm
the theft after details leaked. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">One insider is reported to have said: "He vanished
that night and neither hide nor hair has been seen of him. The police
have been to his house and all ports have been alerted in case he
tries to leave the country. The Versace people have gone ballistic
over how he managed to get away with it. It is embarrassing for
them to say the least. It was obviously a hell of a temptation for
someone only earning �250 a week." </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The theft occurred on May 5th but details only emerged
today. It is not known how the guard, who is said to be of South
African origin and in his late 20s, obtained keys to the safe. The
store is covered by a network of surveillance cameras. It is frequently
visited by Donatella Versace, who took over the label after her
brother Gianni was murdered by a serial killer in 1997.</font></p>

set of uniforms for British Airways staff. </font><font size="1">
The Welsh-born designer, who holds the Glamour Designer of the Year
2001 title, has been drafted in to give the airline staff a new
look. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="1"> Julien, who was recently appointed artistic director
of Givenchy and has dressed the rich and famous, including Liz Hurley
and Nicole Kidman, says he plans to inject a touch of glamour into
his creations for BA. He says he plans to make all BA staff feel
smart, whether they be in Mauritius or Moscow. BA says that Julien's
vision will reinforce the airline's identity - classic but modern
and stylish but practical. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The airline's current uniforms have been in use
for eight years and were designed by Paul Costelloe. Hardy Amies
and Roland Klein are among the designers who have designed uniforms
for BA. </font></p>

<p><font size="1">There was once a time when jeans were seen as unacceptable
in the majority of public places. Lord help you if you entered the
luxurious portals of a smart Knightsbridge shop in a pair of ripped
denims. Likewise, all eyes would widen if you walked into a restaurant
with Levi-clad legs after 6pm. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">But jeans have evolved steadily since the 1950s,
the point at which they beca</font><font size="1">me more than the
staple item for rugged cowboys out west. Created for boys, they
were soon adopted by girls and have since become status symbols,
attached to designer names and starry backsides. New brands are
born daily; new varieties weekly. Huge money is to be made from
them, with superstore chains fighting to sell them and infant labels
striving to make their mark. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Stella McCartney is, to a large extent, responsible
for brushing up the humble jean. Transforming them into something
that all fashionable women strive to squeeze into, she has made
them respectable and able to mix with the smartest outfits. If you
look in the social pages of Vogue or Tatler, you will see jeans
out and about at events normally reserved for cocktail dresses.
This is fantastic if you have great legs, but for those with shorter
limbs, it's best to keep them for daytime use or as casual evening
wear. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The most important thing you need to know about
jeans this summer is that they can be worn with any top. A basic
T-shirt or a chiffon work of art by Chloe, flat shoes, high boots,
strappy sandals - take your pick to suit yourself and your situation.

design. The singer-actress is working with Andy Hilfiger, brother
of fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger, on a new line of women's clothing
called "J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez." </font></p>
<p><font size="1" color="#FFFFFF">"Before I used to dance or
sing or act in films, I was just redesigning clothes," Lopez
said as she debuted the fashion line at the St. Regis Hotel and
Spa in Century City. Models - including Lopez - displayed the line
of sporty urban wear, which features tight T-shirts and studded
jeans. Prices will range from $221 to $850. </font></p>
<p><font size="1" color="#FFFFFF">"We are going to offer clothes
that we think are wonderfully designed and will fit women of all
sizes," she said. "So from little to voluptuous, everybody
gets to be sexy."</font></p>

<p><font size="1">Ian Schrager hotels like futuristic St Martins Lane
and cutting-edge The Sanderson (dubbed "The hippest hotel in
the world" by GQ magazine) are known for attracting the fashionistas.
Vogue and ELLE shoot in them, models and designers stay in them,
wannabes - and celebrities like Madonna - hang out in the Purple
Bar (Sanderson) and the Light Bar (St Martins Lane). </font><font size="1">Now,
always a step ahead, the hotelier and founder of legendary nightclub
Studio54 is about to take things one-step further. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">His latest hotel will resemble a gigantic pair of
trousers with asymmetrical legs posing as if on a fashion shoot.
The Astor Place Hotel is to be built in downtown New York between
Lafayette Street and Fourth Avenue and will stand 20 stories high.
It will be the first entirely new hotel to be planned by the 54-year-old
designer. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The design is a collaboration between Dutch architects
Rem Koolhaas/OMA and Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron in Switzerland.
These leading architects are no strangers to fashion; both firms
have designed stores for Italian fashion house Prada. Herzog and
de Meuron transformed the former Bankside Power Station into the
stunning Tate Modern museum of modern art in London. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">One of the most striking features of the Astor Place
Hotel are the sleeping compartments, fitted with beds and arranged
in stacks of three, which will be situated on the upper six stories.
They will be sound proofed and have translucent doors for some degree
of privacy. This is a popular concept in commuter hotels in Japan.<br>
<br>
The hotel, estimated to cost more than $120 million, is scheduled
to open in autumn 2003. </font></p>

<p><font size="1">Elizabeth Jagger is following in her famous mother
Jerry Hall's footsteps, becoming a covergirl for American Vogue
magazine. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The 17-year-old daughter of Mick Jagger posed for
top American photographer Marco Glaviano in May. An assistant says,
"The pictures should cause a sensation when they're released, which
could be this summer." </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Elizabeth's career has taken off rapidly since she
was the star of Betsey Johnson's show during NY Fashion Week this
year. Julian Macdonald dressed her in a Union Jack coat and hat
for his glitzy, much talked about show during London Fashion Week
in February. In the same week, she was booked for the prestigious
Matthew Williamson show and wore her fur tank top and pink skirt
with the same casual elegance as her more experienced colleagues.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">But her success is hardly surprising considering
that - apart from inheriting her mother's fantastic legs - Elizabeth
is already a veteran poser. As a baby, she was photographed with
her mother for American magazine Harper's Bazaar. She made her first
catwalk appearance aged six when she paraded, to eager applause,
through the Park Lane Hotel ballroom before an audience of 300 at
a children's charity fashion show. Two years ago, she was signed
up by exclusive agency Models One, where top models like her mother
Jerry, Twiggy, Karen Elson and Alek Wek all began their rise to
fame. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Most recently, Elizabeth took to the catwalk for
Top Shop in London at the end of March in the company of Erin O'Connor
and Vivien Solari. She flew in from New York where she studies acting.
According to peoplenews.com, she cohabits with South African model
Damien van Zyl, 22, in her father's five-floor town house on Upper
West Side on Manhattan. Elizabeth met Damien last year while on
a shoot for designer Tommy Hilfiger.</font></p>
