was a nod to their notorious and sometimes explicit personal relationship. Theirs was an epic love story

the role of wife and muse. With their fast friends and glamorous lifestyle, these two owned the ’70s. Digital/Style

THE GIFT OF GANDHI

There’s something to be said for adopting one look and sticking with it for 27 years. During a hunger strike in Bombay in 1921, Mahatma Gandhi gave up Western dress and pared down to four sartorial essentials —

each, a perfect embodiment of design and purpose. Svelte in a loincloth of home-spun khadhi, round steel-framed

glasses made for him in Gloucester and the barest of handmade sandals, he shaved his head, and the transformation was

complete. A poignant photograph taken in 1948 of Gandhi’s earthly possessions, seven items, caught the attention of a teen-age Josef Helfenstein. Decades later, as director of The

Menil Collection, Helfenstein has organized an exhibition inspired by Gandhi, “Experiments with Truth: Gandhi and

Images of Nonviolence,” (through February 1). See the man who had not only the simplest of sartorial style but an arrow-straight

outlook on world peace: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” For the anti-clutter purists on your list,

Holly Moore gathers, then deletes and deletes.

BOTANY OF DESIRE Erdem Moralioglu rattled our brains with the intensity of

his Spring 2015 runway show that ingeniously referenced Victorian botanist Marianne North and her exquisite botanical paintings at Kew Gardens. The writhing plant life and sinuous
