Daily News: A Global Roundup

By JC Report
“If London’s historic bespoke tailoring has traditionally been an almost excessively male environment – all calculated deference, pinstripes and chesterfield sofas, with the puff of cigar smoke lingering in the air and a special, often intimate relationship between a gent and his cutter, much as between a man and his barber – then the pioneering Hall, if only for her sex, might seem out of place.” (National)
“Louis Vuitton – the mother of all luxury brands – celebrated the dawn of 2012 by ding-dong-merrily initiating a lawsuit. This was aimed not, as one might imagine, at one of the many counterfeiters that sell copies of its monogrammed bags, but at Warner Bros Entertainment Inc.” (The Independent)
“Some European luxury brands have again raised their product prices from this year just a few months after they announced moderate price cuts following the free trade agreement between Korea and EU in July.” (Korean Herald)
“The nominees for the BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund 2012 have been revealed, with industry favorites including Mary Katrantzou, Jonathan Saunders and Peter Pilotto among the nine shortlisted designers.” (Relaxnews)
