craved from the fashion indus­
try: respect - and a little thing

First, Combs, wearing a white
tuxedo jacket, told the audience
of fellow designers, models, fash­

Ralph Lauren store "saving my
pennies" for a new Polo shirt. “I

Then, he shouted, “ Ralph,
you’ re still the sexiest man on the
planet!”
Carolina Herrera was hon­
ored as the best w om ensw ear
designer o f the year, and Reed
Krakoff, C oach’s president and
executive creative director, was
