Asian shoppers thirst for luxury (BBC)
"So many times in the past few decades, the insatiable appetite of the Americans [helped the world out of recession]... But if China's emerging class of consumers put their mind to it... their buying power will shape the needs and demands of the rest of the world."

Coach U.S. sales soar, but cost pressures rise (Reuters)

Islamabad's first fashion week (Guardian)
"The organisers of the capital's four-day fashion show hope it will prove that there's more to Pakistan than politics. 'Islamabad fashion week will change the way people think of Pakistan... There is a bright side to Pakistan, which is modern, secular and upwardly progressive.'"
