...local high-end department stores and designer boutiques. The results are hardly scientific, but they give you a good idea of international fashion preferences. In Singapore, for example, luxury consumers don't like fur (it's too hot); in Sweden the affluent buy Pucci printed down vests for a dose of color on those long, dark winter nights. Only New Yorkers would pay $240 for a pair of jeans. And who would have thought Berliners would be into designer yoga mats? Turn the page for a look at what sells where...

Those who did seemed to receive a double dose from an energetic president who looked well cooled by an air conditioning vent built into the platform to push cool air directly under the speaker's feet. As he does in the United States when meeting with African Americans or Hispanics, Bush shook hands and leaned near enough to share a milkshake, a close-hold that...
