More It's a race to reach fashion's high endPARIS.- Ferrari is more than just a car company its a lifestyle. Or so said John Elkann, the CEO of Exor, the parent company of Ferrari, at a sports and fashion event held by The New York Times in Paris this month. But in a world in which Formula One and fashion increasingly mingle, it prompts a question: Is there another car brand that could have a similar journey from the road to the runway? Exor, after all, also owns Stellantis, which in turn owns Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Citroën, among other brands. Elkann, the man behind the 2021 introduction of Ferraris high-end fashion line, said it was unlikely that such brands could make the leap to lifestyle. Ferrari started creating luxury cars in the 1940s as a way for its founder, Enzo Ferrari, to finance his racing passion. It has long been more than just a car company, he said. Its a unique company ...

In her latest work, Day for Night, which premiered in full Thursday (Wednesdays performance was halted midway through because of lightning), the setting was the amphitheater on Little Island the Barry Diller-funded park suspended above the Hudson River and the stunning backdrop a stretch of the river at sunset. On ... More 'Twisters' takes off at the box officeNEW YORK, NY.- So much for those theories about moviegoers being hungry for original stories. After a dismal start to the summer ticket-selling season Memorial Day weekend attendance was the lowest in 43 years Hollywood has bounced back by delivering nostalgia-heavy sequels. The latest is Twisters, a loose follow-up to Twister, the 1996 action-adventure about storm chasers in Oklahoma. Twisters was on pace to collect roughly $80 million in the United States and Canada over the weekend. That total, easily enough for No. 1, turned heads in Hollywood. Box office analysts had predicted Twisters would take in about $50 million. Twisters probably took off at the box office for a variety of reasons, theater owners said. Reviews were largely positive. There havent been many natural disaster movies in the marketplace ... More |
