...disparate ethnic groups. The regime's emphatic response to this rising euphoria was an assault so calculating and sadistic that skull fragments and clumps of bloody hair littered the road where it took place. Suu Kyi was detained with about a hundred of her party members, including elderly deputy Tin Oo; both Suu Kyi and Tin Oo are still under house arrest. The authorities shut NLD offices nationwide, although last week the party's Rangoon headquarters was allowed to reopen. The party rank and file remains traumatized.

It sells a well-edited collection of vintage garb and shoes alongside co-owner Emma Fletcher's Lyell line of "vintage-inspired clothes." A circa 1960 Kelly green butterfly-print dress by Japanese designer Hanae Mori and a '70s-era black pleated skirt with a red Provencal-print border hang beside Fletcher's new collection of tulip-print, silk-chiffon tie blouses, velvet jackets lined in silk...
