BERLIN – A memorial service will be held for the 20 people crushed to death in a mass panic at the Love Parade techno festival, German officials said Tuesday, as hundreds of people lit candles, left notes and placed flowers at the site of the tragedy.

People in the western German city of Duisburg gathered to express their grief near where the victims died and 500 others were injured in a jammed tunnel that was the lone entry to the annual festival meant to celebrate peace and love.

Some cried and clung to loved ones. Many lined up to sign a condolence book placed between two red candles in the middle of the tunnel.

People also expressed deep anger at city authorities, particularly Mayor Adolf Sauerland, whom they blame for failing to adequately plan for the event. Organizers have come under fire for allegedly trying to squeeze as many as 1.4 million revelers into too small a space and for allowing only one access point onto the grounds.

One note read: “Sauerland, resign! You failed

What follows is a cross between “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” and “The Girlfriends’ Guide to Toddlers” — an exhaustively researched and delightfully witty account of author Melanie Rehak’s adventurous year working at a local restaurant and tracing its food supply to the sources, as well as grappling with her young son who won’t eat a thing.

Through her visits to dairy, produce and animal farms, Rehak gains a deeper appreciation for the difficulties facing local farmers — and the need to support them. Organic food seems more expensive because the costs are more visible, one of her sources tells her. But the costs of conventionally grown food include public funding of irrigation projects and crop subsidies, not to mention pollution and food-borne illnesses.

Back on the homefront, readers can track the budding language skills of Rehak’s son, Jules, in the myriad ways he refuses almost every edible thing she offers him — from “No” to “No this” to “No chicken. No pasta. No fish.”

The juxtaposition between these dual tracks in Rehak’s life — food and parenting — makes for an amusing read. After methodically describing how to butcher a duck, and the struggle involved in clipping a baby’s nails, Rehak dryly concludes: “You genuinely feel it’s easier to butcher a duck.”

Despite her conviction that local is the way to go, Rehak (author of “Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her”) is reasonable and flexible in the belief, knowing that it’s not always possible to be choosy.

The general issue of accessibility of local produce and livestock, however, is unfortunately not addressed, a gaping hole in the book.

“Eating for Beginners” is funny, informative and relatable. And if you find your mouth watering at some of the dishes mentioned, Rehak is considerate enough to include recipes at the end of each chapter

“This is such a big deal because there is always the question [of] if you approach to design in an artistic way and whether you view your work as art,” Laura Mulleavy said. “It is amazing to have a community you are not always part of recognize your work.”

Rodarte was nominated for the award last year but was beaten by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein. Michelle Obama, who has been seen wearing the label before, is honorary patron of the event which will take place on October 14 in New York. The sisters went on a low-key night out to celebrate their win.

“The Lakers are playing and they have kind of taken over our town,” Mulleavy said to WWD, “so we will probably just take over the jukebox at this little place we like to go to. And then, of course, we will just get back to work.”

Paying tribute to the design industry as a whole, Obama, who wore Isabel Toledo for the occasion, recalled the words of one of her husband’s favourite musicians:

“The great jazz musician Miles Davis – one of my husband’s favourites – once said, ‘Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there,’” said Obama. “I think that is pretty much a good description of what each of you does every day: You’re playing what’s not there.”

“[Designers have] spent their lives pushing boundaries,” she said to WWD. “We know a little about boundary pushing- or just outright ignoring them altogether.”

Well, that last excuse has now been struck invalid. I recently stumbled upon these adorable Camper high-heeled bicycle shoes. The bright yellow shoes were created to expressly for bicycling. They’re made of leather with a rubber sole, so your foot can breathe and move on your bike. The shocking yellow color will help ensure you’re seen if you’re riding at night (Of course, you have reflectors, too, right?). Best of all: the peep toe style and chunky heel will look just as fresh off the bike. Now, if only I could figure out the helmet hair…

Holmes turned up fresh and perky for “The Extra Man” premiere, held at the Village East Cinema in downtown New York and greeted her costars with hugs. Paul Dano and Kevin Kline co-star with Holmes in the low-budget comedy created by the duo that brought the world “American Splendor” and “The Nanny Diaries”: this time, co-writers/directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini focus on Kline’s character, an aging gigolo who acts as an escort for wealthy widows.

Ironically, despite the chummy greeting that the three leading actors shared on the red carpet, earlier in the afternoon Kline had joked to reporters that he barely knows Holmes.

“I’ve made two films with Katie Holmes, and have yet to act with her,” he chortled. “She was in ‘The Ice Storm’ and I waved to her, and now she’s in ‘The Extra Man’ with Paul Dano!”

The actress that Kline has known forever is Phoebe Cates, his wife of more than 20 years; she and their daughter Greta Simone Kline joined him for the fun, both at the screening and the after party, along with friends Tracey Ullman and Rachel Dratch. Dano brought Zoe Kazan, his girlfriend of the moment, and a gaggle of supermodels, including Doutzen Kroes, Kim Stolz, Lena Gerke, Yaya DaCosta and Jessica White turned out, too. Even members of the fashion world wanted to see “The Extra Man,” with designers Elie Tahari, Cynthia Rowley and Nanette Lepore on hand, along with musician Sean Lennon, but Holmes left right away, off to her private helicopter and back to work in Toronto.

The hottest underwear trends this season with the queen of lingerie Immodesty Blaize and winner of the Global Triumph Inspiration Awards, designer James Nolan.

It is often said that it’s what’s on the inside that counts… and that couldn’t be more the case when it comes to your clothes, because although the outer wear may look great it is in fact underwear that makes you feel great. So think beyond the international fashion weeks, the show that was on everyone’s mind was the Global Triumph Inspiration Awards which took place in Milan on September 23rd. The newest and hottest underwear designs were on display and each country showcased its award designs in front of a panel of expert judges, including Hollywood actress Hilary Swank. Emerging designers were judged on how they put forward their interpretations of the theme ‘icons’ – with designs being inspired by a range of items including even the Sydney Opera House, who knew underwear could be that exciting? And the world beating design came from our very own UK entry designer James Nolan, who wowed the judges with his interpretation on Swan Lake.

New underwear is an essential part of any girl’s wardrobe and having the right lingerie not only makes you feel sexy, confident and in control – but wearing the right bra also does so much for your figure, maximising the look of your cleavage and curves. With so many different designs and colours, from the balcony bra, to the plunge – we’re truly now spoilt for choice and what a choice there is.

This range of options can often make it difficult to know what to look for when it comes to underwear trends. Help is at hand though as luckily for us, in this video feature we have expert advice from three people who know lingerie and how to wear it, gorgeous Burlesque sensation Immodesty Blaize, UK designer and overall winner of the Triumph International Awards James Nolan and Triumph product manager Jane Fenlon-Smith.
