      Skip the Cocktail (and Hangover), Get a Promotion

      (Newser) - Fashion-industry parties are known for being boozy, but some insiders are staying sober to help give their careers an edge, Page Six magazine reports. "Sobriety has made me productive—to a deranged degree," says Barneys' creative director, who quit drinking 20 years ago.

"People would like to see somebody up there (on the catwalk) who reflects how people on the street really look," one casting agency topper says. More »
