Armani: `Fashion finished' Just as he's about to open two Manhattan stores that bear his name and sell his elegant designs, Giorgio Armani says fashion is dead. ``Fashion is finished,'' Armani declared. ``That is, `this is fashion, and you must dress this way' - it's finished. Fashion is what a woman makes. She puts on an Armani jacket, a skirt by Gigli. This is fashion.'' The designer, known for his classic men's power suit and a relaxed, comfortable, luxurious style, has long eschewed the novelty and abrupt changes marking much of haute couture. ``In the last 10 years, too much has been done too fast, with everybody always looking out for something new,'' he said in the Sept. 16 issue of New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of magazine. ``And this is the negative side of fashion, in a sense, that has made it a bit ridiculous today.'' 3-year-old takes the wheel Abraham Mungia was doing pretty well with walking. So the 3-year-old moved up a step to try driving the family car. The toddler grabbed the keys from a table Saturday night while his mother was on the telephone and slipped out of the house. He climbed into the family's four-door sedan, standing up behind the steering wheel, and fired up the engine. Abraham made it through two busy intersections before the car bounced over a curb, plowed through a fence and stopped three blocks from home. ``He was still standing up,'' Frobish said. ``He never even fell down.'' The boy was not hurt and was returned to his family. ``We're not giving him a ticket,'' Frobish said. ``Maybe he was going out for a cookie.'' Finding meaning in bubbling lamp Craven Walker, 77-year-old inventor of the lava lamp, told People magazine that people who don't like them are ``frightened of sex.'' The lamp, he says, ``starts from nothing, grows possibly a little bit feminine, then a little bit masculine, then breaks up and has children.'' Miss America proud of work Her yearlong reign ends this week, but Miss America Shawntel Smith isn't just going home to Muldrow, Okla. Like Heather Whitestone before her, Smith will continue on a national speaking tour even after she crowns her successor Saturday. Her advocacy of school-to-work programs, which helped her earn more than $300,000 in appearance fees already, has kept her in demand as a speaker. She says she is booked solid through December. ``I will continue to travel and speak as long as my schedule allows,'' Smith said Sunday as she prepared for her final week as Miss America.
