Know-how

• Learning from German--los geht's! It is estimated the English language comprises 600,000 words, yet there are times when its paucity is hard to ignore. This usually happens when you learn a new word in the (more compact) German language for which there's no English equivalent. German speakers know how this confounds us, and describe that smug sense of satisfaction with the useful word Schadenfreude.

Culturally something happens, you know," she continues. "I didn't live in Iceland during my formative years, but I've had access to so many nationalities I find myself at home everywhere. The familiarity of the American culture is quite clear though - I know how it works and what I need to do. I'm the most efficient here. "But my Mom was my model and she practiced, and my sister pushed me. In fact we played these... games until we were teenagers, where she'd ask me how long I'd practiced and if I said '15 minutes' she'd say 'Well, I practiced for an hour!' and so on." Today [Judith Ingolfsson] has a flourishing worldwide career. In 1998 she won the Gold Medal at the prestigious International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, and she has performed at the La Jolla Chamber Music Societ...

• [Still] Not Politics As Usual

Too often the notion in the past was about one-time fixes," she says. "[The idea was], 'if I kick the can down the road, I won't be here to have to clean it up/ This time we said 'none of that' - we have got to get this done.

"This is not a time for procrastination or for partisan nonsense," she said in her recent State of the State speech, referring to last fall's budget battle. "It's a time for just one thing: for us to fight for Michigan's future.... If the...

What makes Helena's approach interesting is that she doesn't look to the design climate to tell her what she should create. Her ambition is not to find the hot new trend but to make well-made, beautiful garments. She is self-taught, which gives her a different kind of relationship to the clothes. "We have sewing classes in Sweden (starting) when you are 10, so that's where I learned the basics, and then I just kind of cut apart and opened pieces and figured out how things were constructed. I am always that kind of person who likes to know how things are put together. I want to understand everything... I want to figure out why things are the way they are and look the way they do, and I think that's part of figuring out how a garment is constructed and learning why certain shapes fall the...
