Marion Jones Sentenced

Olympic gold medalist, Marion Jones was sentenced to six months in prison and 400 hours of community service at the United States Distrcit Court on Friday, for lying to federal agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs.

However designers, such as Balenciaga and Maison Martin Margiela have already moved out of the past and into the future with their avant-garde designs.

Last year, for his Fall and Spring 2007 line, Martin Margiela debuted exaggerated shoulder pads and future-esque dresses that seemed inspired by the Jetsons.
