while newspapers lay off staff and attempt to figure out how to go digital, various designers are already there. Check out Ralph Lauren Magazine, Fall 2001.

Most of you won't remember Cary Grant but he was certainly a fashion icon of his era. THe same could be said for Fred Astaire. I don't frankly associate anyone other than perhaps George Clooney as a Hollywood star that echoes some sort of elegant statement, and even then George does not seem particularly interested. Clearly the Magazine chose Grant as the classic iconic statement of how one should look, which would resonate with their older customers.
