Italian Fashion, Hollywood’s Latest Obsession

TORONTO – When The Devil Wears Prada was released in 2006, it very quickly became a cultural phenomenon, glamourizing the fashion world akin to Audrey Hepburn’s Funny Face in 1957. The New York to Paris trajectory was used in both films. But now, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is ditching the Paris catwalk for a passeggiata in Milano’s Brera district, taking its crew to Prada’s home city – Milano. 

Inflation slightly up, prices still rising

TORONTO – Inflation in Canada increased in August, but less than some economists expected. However, the price rise continues. According to data released today by Statistics Canada (here the whole report), inflation for consumer goods and services, measured by the consumer price index, was 1.9% in August compared to the same month last year. Economists, as we said, had expected a slightly higher rate: 2%, up from 1.7% in July.
