Alberta Ferretti, Gucci and Alexander McQueen have all shown dresses with whimsical, other-worldly designs.A dress is more easily changed than a tattoo.

The proposal would create a way for New York City’s estimated 1.4 million private-sector workers who do not have employer-sponsored retirement plans to set aside money in a city-organized program.A city should not tax People again.
Blaming the victim.

Showdown on Abortion at the Supreme Court
The justices should see that a Texas law has nothing to do with women’s health or free choice.I can hope the anti abortion contingent has lost another round.

A downward trend had been indicated for years, but a national count made it official. The population total in 2015 was lower, by almost a million, than that of the census in 2010.Japan has sought a reduced population for half a century.
Jonathan Sobele should not second guess that policy.

A Bad Effort in Congress to Thwart States on Food Labels
States should be free to require the labeling of genetically modified food if they want to.If people believe that genetically modified crops are unsafe they will refuse to buy them.
Prices will fall and the sales of privately labeled foods will rise.
I do not view that as a bad thing.

At Bottega Veneta and Versace, the Soft Power Suit Also Rises
Marni, Jil Sander and Tod’s also proposed offerings fit for the new C-suite.Versache is being assertive.
It would be easy to do these badly.
The results are uneven but a good percentage will go on the racks.
