He brightened knows that guys still have to work. For spring, he served up a lightweight wardrobe up his signature palette of beiges and grays with cool blues and touches of citrus that was varied, of the moment and — above all — effortless. With a summertime yellow, which he applied to suede desert boots, belts, ties and sporty blousons in city slicker in mind, the designer combined classic with casual in just the right techy fabrics. While some trousers — set high on the waist — boasted his signature doses. The first look out — a crisp, double-breasted jacket in linen worn with roomy pleats, the silhouette seemed slimmer.

TOUR GUIDE: Could Ricky Martin be in Milan to outfit his upcoming tour? “My new worldwide tour starts in February and will last nine or 10 months,” he said at the Giorgio Armani show on Tuesday. So, will he don the Italian label onstage? “We’ll see what happens,” he said. “I did for the ‘[Livin’] La Vida Loca’ concerts.” Martin’s next album is due out at the end of the year after a three-year hiatus, “to step back and analyze what life is about, take a spiritual journey, connect with paternity,” he related. “Now, I’m ready. You can go and record an album or you can record a masterpiece. I’m shooting for a masterpiece, although I mean it in a humble way. I’m pouring my soul in it. I hope it will be something I’ll listen to in 20 years’ time and be proud of.”

The show’s contemporary offshoot, Vanguard, also will return for its second season. new York’s growing home for progressive men’s wear, Capsule, is decamping from its Lower east side location for Chelsea and the former Dia art Foundation space.

The Lauder family and The Estée Lauder Companies are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved former General Counsel, Saul Magram. Saul’s unique intelligence, strategic thinking and warmth created a legacy of business success and enduring friendships during his 31 years at ELC. Saul passed away at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida after suffering a brief illness.

Saul was a native New Yorker and a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. After law school, Saul was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy. He joined The Estée Lauder Companies as Secretary, Corporate Counsel in 1968 and soon thereafter became its first General Counsel. Saul was integral to our growth, working closely with Mrs. Estée Lauder, Leonard Lauder and Ronald Lauder. He was instrumental in helping to take our Company public in 1995. Saul was equally passionate in supporting causes and organizations in the arts, education and nature. Saul was a valuable mentor, advisor, advocate, philanthropist and dear friend.

Our thoughts are with his family and many friends. Saul had a genuine zest for life, a warm heart and generous soul. He will be remembered with deep love by his former colleagues.
