...Reading your stories about rivers, I was struck by how big a role rivers have played in Australian literature. Kate Grenville's The Secret River, on which Michael Fitzgerald based his visit to the Hawkesbury, is only the latest work to refer to rivers. Your editor's letter was right in suggesting that the dryness of so much of the continent gives rivers a special significance. Every Australian knows Banjo Paterson's The Man From Snowy River, but rivers also come up frequently in the poetry of Harry "Breaker" Morant. One of his best-known verses is At the River...
Steffe is on board as is designer Charles Nolan, who will re-energize the store's proprietary Kate Hill brand. Bryan Bradley of Tuleh, who is creating an exclusive Lord & Taylor line, will play up the chain's history. His collection will feature $30 rock-concert-style T shirts with sayings and imagery lifted from the store's archives (think Lord & Taylor's red rose and an art director's wit circa 1954). Upscale chiffon dresses, sweaters and blouses in the $70 to $280 range are also part of the classic yet sexy and modern line. "Lord & Taylor is what...
Within 12 months, Elfers had streamlined the merchandise, discarding $350 million worth of retail volume. Out went Liz Claiborne, Tommy Hilfiger and Nautica to make room for Coach, Kate Spade and Tommy Bahama. "The big theme that drives retail is getting back control of the brand, which is what they've tried to do," says Chen. "The Starbucks theory [of always expanding] doesn't work for fashion." Since 2003 Lord & Taylor has replaced 85% of its merchandise and reduced its style count 45%. The current 47-store chain is more akin to a specialty store: manageable, edited and easier...
...usually adept at playing to their readers' biases. The press here - from populist tabloids to serious-minded dailies - has largely been unswerving in its support of the McCanns. "Madeleine: Her Mother is Innocent," shouted Wednesday's Daily Express. "Torture," declared Sunday's The People over a picture of Kate McCann, Madeleine's mother. And Chris Roycroft-Davis, a media consultant and Express commentator, thinks that's how it should be. "The media have been very, very sympathetic toward the McCanns, quite rightly so," he said on a Sunday morning BBC Radio 2 program...
...David Jones wrote that while he hopes the police are wrong, "a terrible nagging doubt has refused to leave me." It may be "unpalatable," he adds, but "we can no longer take their innocence as an absolute, cast-iron certainty." Olga Craig in the Sunday Telegraph recently described Kate McCann, pointedly, as cold and distant. Some publications are hedging their bets with a two-track approach: supporting the McCanns, but also printing stories that tend to bolster the police line of inquiry. London's Evening Standard recently quoted sources as saying critics of the DNA evidence - which early reports said...
