The New Jersey-based museum publicist spends $277 a month on three subscriptions, including one from New York & Company, a women’s mid-price clothing chain with hundreds of U.S. stores.

This is less than what she previously spent, she said. “I still have clothes in my closet from when I was buying, but I can’t tell you the last time I bought anything,” she said.

And New York Fashion Week came to an end this season with a Marc Jacobs show that acknowledged that moment: A paean to lost optimism and lost friends, and a bouquet of memory.

Supporters said the ban is the humane thing to do, while opponents called the bill a job killer, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported.

A burgeoning movement to outlaw fur is seeking to make its biggest statement yet in the fashion mecca of New York City.

Lawmakers are pushing a measure that would ban the sale of all new fur products in the city where such garments were once common and style-setters including Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Joe Namath and Sean "Diddy" Combs have all rocked furs over the years.

A similar measure in the state Capitol in Albany would impose a statewide ban on the sale of any items made with farmed fur and ban the manufacture of products made from trapped fur.

Trading activity continued to remain slow on the cotton market on Saturday with both buyers and sellers making every efforts to turn the prices in their favour. Most buying deals offered by spinners were not obliged by ginners who are holding back their stocks in the hope of a price rise.

Brokers said that the rapidly rising prices of phutti (seed cotton) are instrumental in pushing cotton prices higher which forced ginners to ask for higher price for cotton.
