We rather like this top from Levi’s autumn–winter 2009 Classic range for the southern hemisphere. Black and white are up to the minute for the winter season, and the Levi’s range has gone away from prints, which is what we forecast. The women’s stripe Henley goes for NZ$59·90. […]
Panos Emporio prepares for summer ’09

Stockholm is Europe’s first Green Capital
