Soccer-Umbro scrambles to meet demand for shirts from devastated team

December 1, 2016 By publisher

By Brad Haynes CHAPECO, Brazil, Dec 1 (Reuters) – An outpouring of support for the Brazilian soccer team devastated by an air crash this week has nearly wiped out retailers’ inventory of their shirts, forcing an emergency meeting with producer Umbro for an extra run. Ivan Tozzo, acting president of the Chapecoense club, said in an interview on Thursday that he had met the day before with local Umbro representatives to discuss ramping up production. Demand has been so overwhelming that the nearest Umbro factory does not have enough of the proper fabric to make jerseys for all the Brazilian clubs requesting commemorative editions ahead of the final game of the season.

In serene garden and wooden house, Lagerfeld fetes nature for Chanel

January 26, 2016 By creative

By Pauline Ades-Mevel PARIS (Reuters) – Known for his extravagant runway settings, designer Karl Lagerfeld led fashionistas into a serene garden on Tuesday at the Chanel haute couture catwalk show in Paris. Having, in previous years, turned the Grand Palais into an airport, a supermarket and a brasserie, the designer, who has been at the creative helm of Chanel since 1983, sent models out of a wooden house down a garden path across a neat green lawn. Lagerfeld said the starting point for the line was “the silhouette” and he puffed up sleeves into oval shapes on Chanel's signature tweed jackets paired with pencil-slim skirts.
