...Clearly, dresses from Pucci and Diane von Furstenberg aren't shredder bound. But who are their likely buyers? "Women looking for value for money," Farquhar says. "People who want something different to express their individual style, who like mixing pieces together." Women who initially come in attracted by the new fair-trade labels are buying used items, too, she says. So far, secondhand merchandise accounts for half the shop's sales. On a recent weekday morning, a range of shoppers, young and old, came in to browse or buy. Twentysomething Caroline Dunlevy, who was making her second visit since...

Aren't they just the ones to always be making...
...Amnesty International to mark its 25th anniversary, the ''Conspiracy of Hope'' tour hopscotched across America by chartered 707 jet with the aforementioned lot, plus Sting and Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams, along with assorted one-night stand-ins including Bob Dylan and Bob Geldof. Very nice crew indeed, but really, aren't benefit concerts wearing a trifle thin? ''Everyone wanted us to go away after Live Aid,'' concedes Bono, an unquenchable Irishman. ''The music industry would be delighted to get back to packaging us like perfume commercials.'' But the pull of just one more won out. The tour was the idea...
