George Clooney the Hollywood actor who has been endorsing in Europe Nestl's fastestgrowing brand, Nespresso did not show up at this week's grand opening in Paris of the Swiss multinational's lavish new coffee shop on the ChampsElyses. But Sharon Stone turned up instead to ensure maximum publicity for what, after all, has become Nestl's biggest marketing success story in recent years. Sales of Nespresso coffee machines and capsules have been growing during the past six years by an average of 30 per cent a year. Last year, they increased by 42 per cent to SFr1.16bn and are expected to hit the SFr2bn mark by 2009. The Swiss food group is planning a massive expansion of Nespresso boutiques round the world, targeting luxury shopping streets such as Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. The idea is to turn Nespresso into a luxury brand that can sit alongside a Louis Vuitton or Harry Winston store. Nestl's star brand risks facing the same dilemma as a pharmaceutical group's blockbuster drug.

With regard to the first, by adopting the three creeds and the first four general councils, they admitted the doctrines of the Catholic church, for Catholics believe novmore now than the fathers of the councils believed then. Of baptism there is no difference in the belief, and with regard to penance we have the Catholic doctrine at once confirmed. We have confession to the priest taught as neDiscount Oakley Sunglassescessary to salvation, then we have contrition, and satisfaction by the external works of charity; all which are considered as essentially necessary acts of the sacraments of penance.

In France, business is fraught with diplomacy and politics. what counts is profits.'' When the Socialists switched to a more conservative economic course in 1983, Arnault returned to France. Back home, he persuaded the government to sell him the bankrupt Willot textile empire at a bargain price. The hodgepodge of losers ranged from retail stores to a diaper company. What Arnault wanted most was couturier Christian Dior, which he considered the group's overlooked gem. Reorganizing the company, Arnault fired more than 8,000 employees including 90 at headquarters. ''All they did was go out to lunch and spend money,'' he says. He sold off much of the revamped textile business in 1987 for more than $200 million and concentrated on Dior. Arnault is cool to subordinates. One manager finally screwed up the courage to ask the boss to lunch after working for him for several years. ''Really?'' replied Arnault. ''Do we have anything to say to each other?'' Slim and elegant, graced with long, delicate fingers, he once dreamed of being a concert pianist. He continues to practice religiously.

(RL) reported earnings last quarter, it showed why it was the epitome of luxury. Today it has proven why it is nothing but world class, as the premium lifestyle retailer beat earnings estimates.

The New York, NYbased company reported earnings of $2.46 per share on $1.9 billion in revenues. This blew away Wall Street estimates. Analysts were looking for earnings of $2.24 per share on $1.84 billion in revenues.

Just last week, Saks Inc. announced plans to become the first foreign luxury department store in China, featuring prestige products like those in Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the United States. fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, whose first China store opened here in 2002, now has 40 stores in 23 Chinese cities and plans more. Immediately after launching this year's spring line in New York, Hilfiger flew to Shanghai to showcase the new fashions. "Just in the past couple of years, during the fashion season, you see more shows than in New York!" says Tito Tan, who used to run an eventmanagement company in Shanghai. "But it's not just product launches; it's relaunches, or to let people know a store is open, or because a CEO is in town. Here, if Armani does a fashion show, Gucci has to do one. They'll spend $1 million and invite 1,000 people." Five years ago, buyers from mainland China represented just 1 percent of world sales of luxury handbags and other accessories. Now, the Chinese are the thirdlargest consumers of luxury goods, accounting for more than 12 percent of global sales, according to a study by Goldman Sachs.

The initiative has seen its up and downs over the years. As luck would have it, these socalled orphan works represent a significant portion of the world collected knowledge. Google hasn said how many it thinks there are, but one academic believes it might total 70 percent some 90 million works. The remaining 40 million or so may be plenty for your friendly, neighborhood library, but not for the Google of them all. Judge Denny Chin raised a number of concerns. But even a system which requires an owner to opt out might rankle: If you didn want to sell your car, should you have to lift a finger to prevent someone from giving you some money and driving it away? Shouldn an owner always have total control? Still, if the public good is overarching, the rights of individuals can be deemed secondary. In Kelo v City of New London the Supreme Court ruled, in essence, that a town could kick people out of their homes to increase tax revenues. Google is a private company, of course, and stands with the Books project to make money from things other people own even as it provides the world with an everywhere, always open library of everything.

I think folks tryin to feel accepted. It occurs to me that our parents used that onlywhitefolksdothat as a pretty fluid and selective deterrent. I'll have to try it with my kids . People can do whatever they want with thier legs, but that picture is not pretty in the leg department. Just saying. I do not shave because I dont need to, luckily. Im not very hairy and the little hair I do have on my legs is so fine that you cant even see it unless you are really close and if your that close you must be family or my guy. lol But I do have several friends that do and several that do not. Does not matter to me either way what a person wants to do but this is really interesting. I think criticizing someone for having hair on their legs is sad. God placed hair on people's legs. Why is what God did a bad thing putting Nair on your legs is fine (although it can burn and has an awful smell) and shaving and accidentally cutting your legs is fine (hair can clog up drains), but being what God made you is bad? " Why? God is perfect. What God makes is perfect. Don't let society or mainstream media tell you want pretty is.

Germain), Vuitton is planning big things for San Francisco, not to mention an array of themed sports gear, watches, clothing and, of course, luggage. "The America's Cup is the richest sporting event, in my opinion," he said. "And to do it in a city like San Francisco, with the spectators close to the boats, with fast catamarans, it will be quite a show." Though he now lives in Brittany, he's in Cascais, Portugal, this week for the inaugural America's Cup racing series (which began Saturday and continues through next Sunday). But he'll soon be back in the Bay Area, which is fast becoming like a second home. His sister owns the international fashion chain Agns B., which had a Union Square store a few years back, and visits regularly as he helps forge plans for Vuitton's involvement in the Cup. On his signature red linen pants: "There is a tradition here in Brittany, on the Atlantic, for sailors to wear red pants. It is colorful and more fun than a navy blue suit. It is perfect with a navy blazer. Mine are made by my friend in Italy. I have been wearing red pants for many years."

And Now Me And Mo'Nique's Hairy Legs In Essence While most Black women have completely embraced the notion of the razor, the Nair and other hair remover contraptions and concoctions, there have always been some Black women who didn't. And while the "mainstream" pretty much had their vote and decided no hair should go there, most of my life Black women who choose to stay hairy have been greeted with a shrug. Yeah, some people were grossed out, but most didn't care, knowing at least a friend or a member of their family who practically thought leg shaving was the devil's handiwork. Case in point: My parents. i think it's a worldly thing, if it wasn't so unaccepted by whites i think women would shave less, course i had a german teach who didn't shave. but up against white skin it looks kind of wild and animal like so i understand white women shaving. but most of the women at my church don't shave even with hose and all, i believe it's something we as a people embaced to feel accepted, and fit a worldy standard. legs. no biggy, i'm not shaving unless absolutely necessary and i look like a bear. more power to Monique.

This gives them an opportunity to feel that energy and feel the attitude of what you're working on. I find it incredibly liberating. In the last few years, fashion has gradually opened itself up to ordinary shoppers. Bloggers have sidled into shows alongside fashion editors, the TV show "Project Runway" has made design seem doable, and Fashion's Night Out has brought designers into stores to meet shoppers. But never before have Fashion Week designers so aggressively appealed directly to consumers with their shows, in large part because technology makes it so easy but also because economic conditions make this round of runway shows so important. The luxury shoppers that Fashion Week designers go after all but disappeared during the recession, not only because rich consumers' investments plummeted but also because it was unseemly to buy expensive items in a sober time. Now, though, they appear to be buying again. Herms International said last month that its profit rose 55.2 percent in the first half compared with a year earlier.

3. dollar, heavy QE in Japan, and the (since February) depreciating Euro, international exposure, despite larger markets, will hurt revenues. Michael Kors, in 2013, only generated 6.1% of its sales from Europe and 1.3% in Japan. Ralph Lauren generates 37% of its revenues outside of North America, which makes it much more susceptible to currency shocks. Specifically, 21% of sales are from Europe, and 12% from Asia. Coach is even more susceptible to currency shocks, with 48% of sales coming from international regions, particularly China and Japan. Coach's first quarter 2013 earnings showed a 40% increase in sales in China. However, currency exposures may give Coach a boost as the Yuan appreciates against the USD. Finally, Estee Lauder generates 37% of its sales from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, and 21% from Asia. Similar to RL, EL may be hit hard with the depreciating Euro and appreciating USD. Thus, KORS, which has the least international exposure, will likely be less affected by currency shocks. RL and EL will suffer from the depreciating Euro, while COH may gain due to the appreciating Yuan.

AND ARTFUL DEALS BERNARD ARNAULT b (FORTUNE Magazine) FRIENDS SAY Bernard Arnault is deeply in love with luxury goods. The 39year old French entrepreneur disputes that. ''You fall in love for inexplicable reasons,'' he says. ''This is completely rational. Nothing makes money like deluxe brands.'' Arnault is betting the chateau on that notion. By taking control in 1988 of Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, he became the world's preeminent purveyor of luxury goods, including Moet Chandon and Dom Perignon Champagnes, Hennessy cognac, Louis Vuitton luggage, Christian Dior and Givenchy clothes and perfumes, and Christian Lacroix fashions. ''This,'' he says triumphantly, ''is one of the world's most beautiful companies.

H Block, a leading taxpreparation company, flipped between the slogans "America's tax team," "Just plain smart," and its current "Get it Right" in just a few years. The fragmentation risks leaving consumers unable to discern a single brand identity for the company. Lastly, in order to fasten the link between a tagline and brand identity, many taglines incorporate the brand name. Citibank's "Because the Citi never sleeps" and Finish Detergent's "Brilliant cleaning starts with Finish" are examples. However, some brands may purposefully choose to leave out their names so that their taglines or slogans don't impair future brand extensions.and the bored wife who dished up a global hit Food for thought: Julie and Julia is based on the life of Julie Powell who cooked her way through every recipe of Mastering The Art Of French Cooking to take her mind off her boring life When Julie Powell decided to cook her way through the 524 recipes of Julia Child's iconic book, Mastering The Art Of French Cooking, in a single year, she was just looking for a domestic project to take her mind off her deadend secretarial job.

At this time the brass sounds a little lighter than usual, though very much on target. The counterpoint from the other instruments stood out splendidly, perhaps as a result. String intonation is always a challenge for younger ensembles. On Tuesday, however, the violins were together, nowhere more happily than when they started climbing with the second theme ("Elsa's motif") and accurately soared to the high notes. Conductor Linn Weeda opted for the ending from the version played in the opera a short chord that would lead into a chorale rather than the sustained final chord of the more familiar concert version. It was unexpected, but not out of place. Weeda next led the group in the last two movements of Alaska composer Philip Munger's "Sinfonietta," composed in memory of Gordon Wright, who died in Feb. 2007 and whom both men count among their musical mentors. Composer Philip Munger: "Sinfonietta" a tribute to the late Gordon Wright It was only the second performance of the movements, though Weeda said he'd originally performed an early version of the second movement, "Lamentations," in an arrangement for brass trio.
