New Fashion Symbol
An Australian fashion firm has developed a motif for singles to
attract an eligible partner.
Perth-based SHI Symbol International said the symbol, which has been developed for
jewelry and T-shirts, is for the singles of the world interested in meeting others.
The company said the symbol is designed to say the wearer is single and not emotionally or physically involved, happy and ready to meet
like-minded people, and interested in “at least saying hello”.
The SHI Symbol is based on linking the male Mars and female Venus gender symbols.
Symbol International said it has received an excellent response from Perth singles since releasing the concept, and that visitors from UK,
US and Scotland were now wearing them back at home.

M&S Aspires to Become
Biggest Fairtrade
Cotton Retailer
Marks & Spencer has set out to become the biggest retailer of
Fairtrade cotton on the high street.
The UK retailer has vowed to increase its range of Fairtrade cotton clothing as from Fairtrade Fortnight, which runs between February 26
to March 11, 2007.
The products will be promoted during Fairtrade Fortnight, through
in-store adverts and window displays in over 100 stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Marks & Spencer chief executive Stuart Rose said: “The demand from our customers for Fairtrade products is getting stronger. Our initial
Fairtrade cotton range proved so popular last year that we’ve extended it and are now the biggest retailer of Fairtrade cotton on
the high street.
“As part of our five year eco-plan, Plan A, we will bring even more Fairtrade cotton clothing into our stores, converting entire ranges
like our basic men’s and women’s t-shirts. This will add up to around 20m garments and will account for around one third of the world’s
current supply of Fairtrade cotton.
M&S said stores will stock nearly 70 different items, including
women’s, men’s, girls’, boys’ and baby clothing. The cotton used its
range is produced by farmers in India, Cameroon, Mali and Senegal and India.

Iconix Agrees to Buy
Danskin for $70M
Iconix Brand Group has agreed to purchase the Danskin line of women's
active wear, leg wear, dance wear, yoga apparel and fitness equipment for $70m.
The transaction is still subject to Danskin stockholder approval.
The deal includes a contingent payment of an additional $15m, payable in cash or stock, triggered by the brand exceeding certain revenue
and performance targets. The transaction, which is self-funded from Iconix’s cash reserves, is anticipated to close in March 2007.
Iconix, whose brands include Joe Boxer and Mossimo, would also enter into a license agreement with the seller when the deal is closed, to
continue operating the Danskin wholesale business including its freestanding retail stores.
The company said that Carol Hochman, president and CEO of Danskin, and her team would continue as Iconix's licensee.
Danskin is sold through stores including Wal-Mart, 15 Danskin
boutiques and Danskin.com.
Neil Cole, chairman and CEO of Iconix said: "Danskin is one of the most established and
recognized active wear brands in the world and we are thrilled to add it to our portfolio and to be partnering with
Carol and her team as our licensee. Upon closing, this acquisition will further our diversification strategy by giving us a strong
presence in the rapidly growing active wear, yoga and fitness market.

Burberry Stores Protested
Animal rights campaigners from People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA) held protests across the US against Burberry’s use of fur in its collections on February 15.
In Denver, Colorado, three PETA members demonstrated outside one of the luxury company’s stores wearing nothing but a banner reading:
‘We’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur’.
"I’ll gladly bare my skin if it will help save animals’ skins," said
PETA a member.
"Even in the 21st century, with so many stylish, comfortable alternatives to fur, Burberry is still supporting one of the most
hideous industries on the planet."
Other PETA members handed out leaflets showing PETA’s fur farm exposé, narrated by designer Stella McCartney, which PETA says
shows the way animals suffer and die to become part of a fur coat.
PETA says it has already showed Burberry executives footage of how animals caught in traps often resort to chewing off their own legs in
order to escape and how animals on fur farms are gassed,
electrocuted, or have their necks broken, yet the company continues to sell fur.
World fur sales continue to rise as it takes on new guises, as
trimming on boots or in woven designs, according to the International Fur Trade Federation (IFTF).
However, PETA spokeswoman Yvonne Taylor said that IFTF figures showing consistent increases in fur sales were unreliable.
"If they have no problem doing what they do they won’t be opposed to lying about sales figures," she said.

Hanes Signs Hewitt
for New Ad Campaign
 Leading US apparel brand Hanes has signed
actress Jennifer Love
Hewitt to star in an advertising campaign for its new ‘All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft Straps.’
The campaign will include television, print and online ads running from spring to autumn 2007.
The new bra features wider ComfortSoft Straps to eliminate cutting and digging into shoulders and overcome the problem of continuously
slipping bra straps, butter-soft fabric, an optional hidden underwire, and a Tagless design for added comfort. 
Love Hewitt previously starred in a print advertising campaign featuring the Hanes Perfect Panty in 2006.
Hanes is one of the brands owned by Hanesbrands Inc, which spun off from Sara Lee in September 2006. The company’s other brands include
Champion, Playtex, Bali, Just My Size, barely there and Wonderbra.
