What sets us apart from other fashion events is that, in addition to featuring eco-fashion, we insist on paying homage to ancestral textile traditions, very often threatened by globalization."

Abbott Awards Arizona Mother $135,000 in National Similac(R) Contest
Infant formula maker recognizes hard-working moms for the second consecutive year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 13 -- Amy Kaminski, a mom from Tucson, Ariz., is the grand prize winner of $135,000 in the second annual "Similac Mom's Payday" contest, sponsored by Abbott. Kaminski earned the title after her entry was chosen from more than 30,000 photo essays.
According to a recent survey by Salary.com, a typical mom like Kaminski should earn $135,000 per year based on her daily activities -- a $5,000 raise over last year's figure. The Similac Mom's $135K Payday contest invited moms and moms-to-be to submit a photo showing their favorite "mom job," along with a brief caption.
An early childhood educator and owner of the Tucson-based Whole Child Learning Co., Kaminski drew inspiration for her entry from the myriad of activities she performs every day while caring for her 7-month-old daughter and 2-year-old son. Kaminski's entry won over the panel of mom-judges with its witty caption and humorous photo. Her winning caption reads:
All in a day's work: Accountant, activities director, chef, chauffer, counselor, delivery service, dispatcher, emergency responder, financial planner, judge, life coach, maid, music instructor, nurse, personal shopper, photographer, record keeper, rent-a-techie, rodeo clown, secretary, set designer, teacher, travel agent; whatever you call it, this Mom's favorite job is juggling!
Abbott is a global care company engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of pharmaceuticals and medical products, including nutritionals, devices and diagnostics. The company employs 65,000 people and markets its products in more than 130 countries. |GlobalGiants.com|

Aristotle and Jackie Onassis' 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith to be auctioned by Red Baron, Atlanta
ATLANTA, Sept. 13 -- The excitement is here with Red Baron's Fall Auction. This time Red Baron will auction off Jackie and Aristotle Onassis' personal car. Their custom-made 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith is on the block at Red Baron's Auction 75, October 13-14 in Atlanta, GA.
With Jackie O.'s style and grace one can only imagine the elegance and class of their automobile. This 1952 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith is a two passenger, chauffer driven, left-hand drive, bullet-proof car, with all of the luxuries of its time. It is a one off production and speaks of sovereignty all the way to the hood emblem of the kneeling lady, which was only placed on the cars of royalty. It was used exclusively for their trips between Paris and Monte Carlo, and belonged to Aristotle and Jackie until his death in 1975.
"Never have we been graced with a such a presence," said Bob Brown, owner of Red Baron, "as that of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She embodies the style, grace, character and history that we seek in each of our pieces. We are privileged to have this car, as will be its new owner."
