The "fauves," or "wild beasts," a group of French artists so characterized by Parisian critic Louis Fauxcelles in 1905, have descended on the National Gallery of Art. Often confused with painters from other art movements within postimpressionism, the fauves, including such stars as Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kees van Dongen and Albert Marquet, are currently on display in the gallery's small, but fine, "Fauve Painting from the Permanent Collection.
For many years, a painting by Kees van Dongen hung in the salon of fashion giant Norman Norell. In the 1940s, Norell had spotted the portrait of the Marchesa Luisa Casati walking along a Venice canal and bought it for a mere $125. It was, in fact, the inspiration for his first collection as Norman Norell Inc. in 1960, called the "Van Dongen Collection," including the shimmering sheaths known as the "mermaid" dress.

NEW YORK - There's always room for neutral ground, in fashion as in life. So while many designers have made strong statements for bold color at fall Fashion Week, the striking deep navy (called "night") and black at Calvin Klein, while expected, are welcome. Ditto for the perfect little raincoat, in parchment, at 3.1 Phillip Lim. And how better to stand out for evening than in a stunning gray gown by Marchesa or Vera Wang?CALVIN KLEIN Designer Francisco Costa's models marched to a thumping drumbeat at his show Thursday afternoon, wearing tailored-to-a-tee coats, skirts and dresses, many sculpted or razor cut and worn with wedge booties. Slim jackets and skirts evoked a military vibe when paired with monochromatic blouses and men's silk ties. But that was hardly the whole story of this s...
