  • The Duke of Hazzards
    THE DUKE OF HAZZARDS The Evening Standard (London) June 1, 2007 Friday Copyright 2007 Associated Newspapers Ltd. All Rights Reserved Section: UNKNOWN Length: 2934 words Body Prince Andrew is lampooned as a useless freeloader with dubious friends and a taste for brassy redheads. But he's winning business for Britain in Kazakhstan and he's big in Japan. Perhaps the Pounds 500,000 a yearit costs to keep him in the air is money well spent, says Melissa Dunn The Duke of York has always enjoyed the company of slightly raffish friends, but the recent travails of his old mucker Jeffrey Epstein are scandalous even by his standards. Epstein is a self-made property developer and asset manager for billionaires who lives in Manhattan's largest private house, a nine-storey pile on the Upper East Side, on 71st Street, just off Fifth Avenue. As well as the Gulfstream jet, the helicopter, the Boeing 727 (on which he once flew President Clinton and Kevin Spacey) and the yacht, he has houses dotted all over the world, including Zorro, a 7,500-acre ranch in Mexico said to be worth $18 million; a 70-acre island in the US Virgin Islands, Little St James; and a $6.8 million house in Palm Beach. In these houses he entertains both international high society and the rather more demimonde, and his social life is run by Ghislaine Maxwell, the 46-year-old daughter of the disgraced newspaper proprietor Robert Maxwell. The couple dated for years in the Nineties and stayed close. Prince Andrew has been to stay with Epstein; sailed on Epstein's yacht off Thailand, surrounded by topless girls including Jenny Frost of Atomic Kitten.

  • Dangerous Designs : Asian Women Fashion the Diaspora
    DANGEROUS DESIGNS In late-1990s Britain, the salwaar-kameez or ‘Punjabi suit’ emerged as a high-fashion garment. Popular both on the catwalk and on the street, it made front-page news when worn by Diana, Princess of Wales and Cherie Booth, the wife of UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. In her ethnography of the local and global design economies established by Asian women fashion entrepreneurs, Parminder Bhachu focuses on the transformation of the salwaar-kameez from negatively coded ‘ethnic clothing’ to a global garment fashionable both on the margins and in the mainstream Exploring the design and sewing businesses, shops and street fashions in which this revolution has taken place, she shows how the salwaar-kameez is today at the heart of new economic micro-markets which themselves represent complex, powerfully coded means of cultural dialogue and racial politics. The innovative designs of second-generation British Asian women are drawn from characteristically improvisational migrant cultural codes. Through their hybrid designs and creation of new aesthetics, these women cross cultural boundaries, battling with racism and redefining both Asian and British identities. At the same time, their border- crossing commercial entrepreneurship produces new diaspora economies which give them control over many economic, aesthetic, cultural and technological resources. In this way, the processes of global capitalism are gendered, racialized and localized through the interventions of diasporic women from the margins. Parminder Bhachu is Professor of Sociology at Clark University, Massachusetts, USA. She was formerly Henry R.Luce Professor of Cultural Identities and Global Processes, and Director of the Women’s Studies program.
