This week we have a treat from Lindsay Reich, international jetsetter
and hot New York publicist. Lindsay writes our Style Forecast from a
recent trip to Japan and you can tell from her brilliant observations that
no trend was lost in translation. Domo Arigato Miss Reich (she's the
superfox in a black poncho in the top photo).
