For the Swedish au pair, Dominatrix, Fifties pin-up and Lolita inside us
Article Abstract:
The sexy lingerie sold by the Agent Provocateur store in Soho, London, England, has attracted considerable interest. Indeed, Serena Rees and Joe Corre, who opened the store in Dec 1994, are now planning to open a second store in the Knightsbridge area of London. This will be a sharp contrast with the Soho store, which is intentionally dark and rather down-market. The Knightsbridge store will be highly decorated, bright and airy. It will prove very popular with shoppers who rarely venture outside Knightsbridge.

Why champs really have to be vamps
Article Abstract:
Today's teenage tennis stars are determined to be glamorous. Their managers are placing strong emphasis on a carefully managed image, and they now appear at all the most fashionable events and are featured in the most fashionable magazines. Martina Hingis has had to devote her teenage years to tennis in order to become world number one, but there is no reason why she should not also be interested in clothes and make-up, just as ordinary teenagers are.

England's glory
Article Abstract:
It can take a great deal of work to organise even a short fashion show, according to Katy England, assistant to fashion designer Alexander McQueen. There can often be problems with obtaining models, and clothes may fail to arrive. Many different tasks are involved, including styling outfits, deciding on make-up and organising publicity. Those involved in organising a fashion show often find themselves so nervous that they are unable to eat or sleep.
