The curtains opened to reveal Coco Rocha as the little mermaid herself, seated on a rock engulfed in a mist of bubbles in a sparkling ensemble of leather trench coat and skirt of copper paillettes, on stage to the left of the runway. Ever the actress, Rocha looked onto the spectacle with fascination and naiveté before deftly removing herself from her seaside perch, shaking her character and marching down the runway as the fifth look of the show. With Edith Piaf, French sea shanties and siren's songs playing on the soundtrack, the models, in various states of wet, dressed either as sailors with sea captains cap and cig or pale, sparkling, leggy sea nymphs, sauntered down the runway.

"Broadway truly prepared me. It made me really go for it," Combs said. "I was like, I came here to get with it and tell a story. I have a long way to go ... but I'm swimming, baby."
"Raisin" director Kenny Leon said Combs brings authenticity, discipline and a strong work ethic to the part of Walter Lee Younger, first made famous by Sidney Poitier in 1961.
"He's not going to be defeated," said Leon. "If you work hard, you'll find truth, and his search for truth pays off."
Walter Lee is a chauffeur living with his wife, young son, mother and sister in a Chicago tenement. "Raisin" takes place over a brief period of time as the mother (Rashad) receives a $10,000 insurance check following the death of her husband.
The money will change all their lives, but not before they face several wrenching dilemmas centering on Walter Lee's hopes for winning financial freedom and his mother's and wife's dream of living in their own home.

"Sometimes people come to a place and don't expect to get the message," Combs said. "This generation, they come for entertainment ... then they realize, 'oh man, this movie is really touching. It's making me really appreciate my family."'

Combs has acted before. He had a small but key role in the 2001 movie "Monster's Ball" and his Broadway run in "Raisin" earned him respectable reviews and won over audiences.

Yet Combs admitted to a case of nerves before his debut at Sundance, the top U.S. festival for independent film that has a history of launching TV movies like "Raisin" with a social conscience.

Last year, the AIDS-related HBO film "Life Support," starring Queen Latifah, opened here.

FAREWELL, BROADWAY

Combs said his stage experience helped train him for the film co-starring Phylicia Rashad and Audra McDonald, who also starred in the 2004 stage version and earned Broadway's top honors, Tony awards, for their work.

"This a historical moment for me, my first starring role in a movie," Combs, 38, told Reuters. "Some of the audience is going to want to see did I do good or did I fall flat on my face?"

Combs was discussing his part in a new film adaptation of the 1959 play "A Raisin in the Sun," which has been remade several times for stage and screen -- most recently in a 2004 Broadway production starring Combs in the role of a young, struggling black American, Walter Lee Younger.

Now Combs is back in a made-for-television "Raisin" set to air on ABC on February 25 to an audience that may be unfamiliar with the story about U.S. race relations, inner city struggle, hopes, dreams and the strength of family bonds.

The Let’s Think of a Number and Stick It on the Price Ticket Award

Chanel’s alligator and diamond 2.55 bag, £130,000; Louis Vuitton’s Tribute bag, £28,000; Balenciaga’s Robot Shoe, £635. As the economy heated up, heels got higher, bags got bigger, jewellery got extreme. Are quieter times ahead?

The Back From the Dead Award Jaeger London, as designed by Karen Boyd (one half of the Eighties design duo Boyd and Storey) and as distinct from plain old Jaeger . . . We wrote about the Lazarus-like resurrection of this British brand back in April. With Russell Marsh on board as the casting director for its first catwalk show next February, even greater things are expected for 2008. And thank heaven for Simon Fuller. The unlikely saviour safely delivered our beloved Roland Mouret back to fashion’s fold, and with him another smash hit, the Moon Dress, now being ripped off by a high street chain near you.

The Mr Big Award Now that Karl is skinny and Gianfranco Ferré is dead, fashion’s new Mr Big is Harvey Weinstein. The godfather of Miramax is pulling strings behind Marchesa and the soon-to-be-relaunched Halston.

RIP:thigh-high socks on all but the nubile; ludicrously dimensioned handbags; fake tans; plastic bags; WAG style; Ugly Betty(can there be any clichés left?); body con (we’re conscious enough of our bodies, thank you); going knickerless (so passé); lip gloss (come on, we can kick this if we really try; all we have to do is look in the mirror and see how porn-star “chic” worked its way into our make-up bags).
