...Clark told New Zealanders last week, though her careful phrasing suggested the benefits might fall short of early hopes: "I am confident that we got the very best deal we could." Dairy and timber exporters are expected to profit most, but manufacturers like white-goods maker Fisher & Paykel and fashion house Icebreaker also stand to gain from easier access to China's low-cost factories as well as to its fast-growing middle class. The projected $300 million annual income boost from the free-trade agreement "is obviously worth having," says Skilling. But "given that our total exports are about...
McGregor, 37, belongs to a generation of choreographers who take ideas, rather than music, as their starting point, and are more interested in presenting audiences with an intellectual challenge - "disrupting their expectations," as McGregor puts it - than entertaining them in the traditional fashion. This isn't new in itself; what's new is the arrival of conceptual work in the dance establishment's mainstream.

...this year. Some of these outlets are even popping up in unlikely and remote places such as icebound Harbin and industrial Shenyang - far-flung, provincial cities where high style still means white socks, polyester slacks and faux-leather man bags.

...exhibition was a let down - two floors of display cases filled with fashion paraphernalia that managed to make MoCA look like a slightly funky trade pavilion (albeit one attended by people like Christina Ricci, spotted gazing into a shoe cabinet). On the other hand, that evening's show of Ferragamo's 2008 fall/winter collection was a stunning triumph. It started an appalling hour and half late, but once it was underway the brand's design team deftly demonstrated the remarkable evolution of its wares in recent years. Models sported modernist, layered basics in somber tones of black, white, navy...
...that I made solo called “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.” This is the second album...part two of the first album I ever made in my career. So it’s more like a struggle of drug dealers, and you know, the fashion, the clothes and everything that comes with it. But I wouldn’t say this is strictly a cocaine album, you know what I mean? The lyrics is cocaine though, that’s what makes it cocaine...
