		<description><![CDATA[In 1981, while Western designers focused on shoulder-padded power suits, bright colors, sharp stiletto heels and statement jewelry, Yohji Yamamoto and Comme des Garcons&#8217; Rei Kawakubo sent their models down the runway in defiant black, voluminously draped garments, accessorized with nothing but flat shoes. It was the Paris debut of both Japanese designers, and they [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s difficult to take your eyes off the 20-ton mound of clothing, which at 9 meters tall dwarfs an accompanying crane that tosses on more T-shirts, trousers and dresses with a giant claw. &#8220;There will also be the sound of heartbeats,&#8221; said Miwa Worrall, a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joseph Kosuth, an American artist famous for conceptual, text-centric works, just put one of his good friends &#8212; Joni Waka &#8212; in the doghouse. Joni didn&#8217;t do anything to upset Kosuth. Quite the contrary. &#8220;The Dog House&#8221; is Joni&#8217;s new home.
