  We present a unified picture of flavor and electroweak symmetry breaking
based on a nonlinear sigma model spontaneously broken at the TeV scale. Flavor
and Higgs bosons arise as pseudo-Goldstone modes. Explicit collective symmetry
breaking yields stable vacuum expectation values and masses protected at one
loop by the little-Higgs mechanism. The coupling to the fermions generates
well-definite mass textures--according to a U(1) global flavor symmetry--that
correctly reproduce the mass hierarchies and mixings of quarks and leptons. The
model is more constrained than usual little-Higgs models because of bounds on
weak and flavor physics. The main experimental signatures testable at the LHC
are a rather large mass m_{h^0} = 317\pm 80 GeV for the (lightest) Higgs boson
and a characteristic spectrum of new bosons and fermions at the TeV scale.
