Military style: we are all soldiers of culture. TUESDAY, JULY 22 The Language of Difference Jewelry replaces trophies in our mental treasure chests.

My mind drifted to swimwear can there be a varsity element in the fasteners? Who has not felt the glamour of others transferred by means of a garment? I did not play high school football, so the memories I felt filling my mind were not my own but were from somewhere else: the collective mythology of the experience of others. Grabbing the post made a satisfying sound. My hand wrapped around the yellow bar and I hung by the post for a second and then swung back down to earth. I did not expect to get all the way up, as I am old and the goalposts are highвЂ¦ but I did. I leaped up into the air and grabbed the crossbar on the goal posts. At a certain high note, I cut across the field and ran towards the end zone. I ran for a while listening to вЂњMaria Callas: Voice of the CenturyвЂќ-an all-aria greatest hits collection. The track looped around the varsity football field like a belt with the scoreboard as the buckle. How much does your high school style experience stick with you a decade or more past graduation? Recently, I went running on a high school track that reminded me of my hometown. I must remember to call about the shoes she wantedвЂ¦ She loved tying and untying the tie-belt. I added a tie as a belt, stitched it all up (or rather, my assistant did), wrapped the whole package in a custom-built leather and linen box, filled with additional gifts such as extra-dark chocolate cigars, a carved wooden rabbit, a collection of miniature sunglasses and a Dalida CD, and presented my client both the swimsuit and the matching belted shirt-dress swim robe. When it arrived eight hours later, I turned it inside out on the dress form and pinned it tight along the side seams. The cut was so long it looked like a nightshirt. I called in a long white shirt from Charvet (Why not? They dressed both JFK and Marcel Proust). We went with medium-thin straps comprised of tiny golden braids-but the look was not complete. He was very concerned, as was I, about the shoulder straps: too thin and they dig in, too wide and no one smiles as you walk by. I caught a glimpse of my assistant in the mirror looking truly pensive. I worked on a new design for a client last week and for a while wasnвЂ™t sure how we would find our way out of the struggle.
