As worn by all stylish Romans

The same goes for the tunic’s unerring versatility. If this season’s trends for fetish, Forties and jewel colour fall on the side of the hard-to-pull-off, then something that functioned before the birth of Christ (and the invention of Spanx) should prove comparatively easy to wear.
And it does: if you can get your head round how to work the shape (think decadent Twenties drop waist), the tunic is your ideal respite trend, one that caters for the scourge that afflicts all women – fat days; looks better [...]

No A&F clothes

Brands have pursued product placement for years, cutting deals to get sodas and sports cars in movies and on television. Some have even insisted on the opposite, having their logos and labels blurred by the camera when associated with the bad guy.
Now Abercrombie & Fitch is doing one better: It has offered to pay the cast members of the trashy-and-proud MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" never to wear its clothes on air.
"This association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be [...]
