The Good Life

Fans are psyched about the new film "Snakes on a Plane" because it's got such a campy title. But designers are wrapping themselves in snakes, too--well, snakeskin anyway. Some of the new styles are directly related to the movie. Others are just part of a new reptilian Zeitgeist that's taking the fashion industry by the throat. Why the hissy fit? "Snakes are a symbol of transformation and creation," says Adria de Haume, who created the couture bracelet for her childhood friend Lin Shaye, a star of the movie. Shaye plans on wearing the jewelry at this year's Oscars, when she's ... um, nominated.
