[1~3]
He had an idea for a new concept in fashion marketing: and just over a year ago he and his wife Jennifer, with a third partner Philip Cranny set up an international fashion center in Great Marlborough Street, W.I., for British buyers. He has always believed that fashion should be international. on his frequent travels abroad in connection with Susan Small exports, he had been struck by the number of things that would fill gaps in English fashion, but which never get to England. Although the buyers of big stores and chain groups go abroad, it is not possible for the owners of Madam shops and boutiques to afford the cost, or indeed to leave the management of their business for long. Nor can they place orders of the site that foreign manufactures require. The Carr Jone's ideas was to do the travelling for them, to select clothes that are different and individual, in particular the kind of clothes that women between about 30 and 55 years find so difficult to buy when everything in fashion seems to be for the very young.

스피어스, 양육권 뺏겨

 

 

Britney Spears has to hand over her kids to ex-husband Kevin Federline. 브리트니 스피어스가 전 남편인 케빈 페덜라인에게 양육권을 넘겨줬습니다.

 

A California judge ruled Monday that Federline will take custody of two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James. 캘리포니아 법원은 1일(현지시간) 2살의 신 프레스톤과 1살인 제이든 제임스에 대한 페덜라인의 양육권을 인정한다는 판결을 내렸습니다.

 

The court order -seen here - states K-fed will have full custody starting Wednesday 'until further order of the court. ' 법원은 다음 법원의 판결이 있기 전 까지 페덜라인이 아이들을 양육하라고 선고했습니다.

이번 판결은 3일부터 효력을 발휘합니다.

 

Last month, Spears was ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol testing as part of her custody case. 지난달 법원은 스피어스에게 양육권을 얻고 싶다면 무작위로 행해지는 알코올과 마약에 대한 테스트에 임할 것을 명령했습니다.

 

In addition she was ordered to meet weekly with a 'parenting coach' who would observe and report back to the court about her parenting skills. 게다가 주 1회씩 ‘양육지도사’를 만나 아이들을 돌보는 기술에 대해 교육받고 법원에 보고서를 제출할 것을 의무화 했습니다.

 

In September, Spears was charged with misdemeanor counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license for allegedly smashing into another car in a parking lot. 스피어스는 주차장에서 다른 차를 들이받아 운전면허가 취소된 상태에서 지난달 뺑소니 사고를 내 고소당하기도 했습니다.
