SISLEY SPRING/SUMMER 2008 WOMEN'S AND MEN'S COLLECTIONS
Sisley plays with the zodiac groups' four elements in its collection for next spring-summer and creates moods with a strong astrological feel.
Earth, for people of character, with their feet on the ground, the colours of the earth: dusty grey, sandy yellow, Dolomite pink, earthy brown and clay red. For her, outfits that cling and reveal: shape-hugging dresses, shorts, pedal pushers that are almost leggings, fluid knitwear with deep necklines and overwear in nylon or other fabrics and - so we don't forget the subsoil - metal. For him there's denim and pumice grey, too. Casual outfits with urban bermudas worn with a leather jacket-style barracuda or a waist-length trench coat.
Water, giving free rein to imagination and gentleness: impeccable white and subtle pale tones with unexpected contrasts in passion red or ocean blue. For her, a cruise mood in soft slacks and bermudas, casual skirts, chiffon cocktail dresses, minimal coats with lacquer-red belts, faux-leather short jackets for strolling along the quay, and shirt-styled jackets. He adapts to the mood, dressing with "instinctive" elegance: white or blue suits, cotton windcheaters or jackets.
Air, with our head in the clouds and a light heart. "Airy" colours with sunset accents; textured fabrics and aerostatic volumes. She favours 40s-style trousers, blouses with statement sleeves and bows at the waist, halter tops, fluid jersey dresses printed with stylised drops which fell from a plum or cornflower-blue sky. He turns serious and wears a technical-taffeta trench coat, a pinstripe suit, leather jacket, a tie and a pullover (with a classic or slanting diamond pattern) to protect against sudden gusts of wind.
Fire, a concentration of overpowering passions and allure: intriguing black, glistening bronze, radiant ivory. Her leading articles are: faux-leather jackets, crocodile-print mini-dresses and knitwear with huge sleeves. The others are in keeping with the theme: burn-out sheerness, plunging necklines, patent "glints", chintz and zips. He is dark and handsome dressed in black or marron glacé: his outfits are casual, relaxed, layered and even floral. |GlobalGiants.com|

Nokia World 2007: Nokia outlines its vision of Internet evolution
Amsterdam, The Netherlands - At the annual Nokia World conference this month, Nokia outlined its vision for the mobile industry, predicting rapid change driven by the convergence of mobility and the internet, and the need for the industry to make an increasing contribution to environmental sustainability.
In his keynote address, Nokia president and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo highlighted Nokia's commitment to driving both trends. Speaking to an audience of some 2,700 delegates who had gathered in Amsterdam to experience Nokia's vision of the mobility industry's future, Kallasvuo said: "We are at the dawn of a new era in mobile communications driven by the rapid convergence of the internet and mobility, and Nokia is setting the pace of change. But with market leadership in an industry of this scale also comes responsibility," he said. "We are committed to taking a leading role in increasing environmental awareness and performance right across the industry, creating further products and services that help people make more sustainable choices. It is both the responsible thing to do and it makes good business sense."
During the event the company announced Nokia Comes With Music, a revolutionary program that enables people to buy a Nokia device with a year of unlimited access to millions of tracks from a range of great artists - past, present and future.
