The cost of living crisis has reduced consumer spending across most retailers, smaller brands…
The European tank market remained fairly stable for many years, with the German Leopard 2 being the most common model used by European armies, while the UK, France and Italy all produced small numbers of indigenous models for their own militaries.Yet a flurry of new tank designs are being conceived in Europe, prompted in part by the war in Ukraine, Europe’s fiercest armored battle since 1945.

For the second season running, Semir took to the runway at the last month’s Shanghai Fashion Week. The mass market clothing brand is an unlikely inclusion in the biannual showcase as its casual designs are far less fashion-forward than Shushu/Tong, Comme Moi or other designer labels on the calendar.
