Floodlight keeps shining on my bedroom window of a night, but tonight it rained and the view is so beautiful - very inspiring.

What We Wear...

"....After weeks of violent protests, Bangladesh nearly doubled the minimum monthly wage Thursday for millions of workers in the key export garment industry to 3,000 taka ($43) from 1,662 taka, but it fell far short of labor union demands of 5,000 taka. The increase will take effect on November 1, 2010.

"We are rejecting what has been offered as increased wages because it is too inadequate to make ends meet," a worker told Reuters news agency.

Bangladesh-based factories make clothes for international brands such JCPenney, Wal-Mart, H&M, Marks&Spencer, Zara and Carrefour.

Garments are Bangladesh's biggest export, accounting for more than 80 percent of annual export earnings worth $16 billion as garment industry workers earn wages well below the poverty line.

The garment sector is Bangladesh's second biggest employer after agriculture, with about 4,500 factories employing about 3.5 million workers, with many toiling in dangerous conditions.

Dozens of workers were injured in clashes with police last month at protests over salaries and working conditions that disrupted production at several factories. —"Bangladesh Garment Workers Riot Over New Wages," MSNBC.com

"Fashion celebrated Halloween in a big way with the star studded Lanvin Halloween bash at the brand’s new Madison Avenue boutique. The perfect way to show off the new space and have a little trick or treat fun, no? Not to mention the fact that Alber just won accessories designer of the year"
