New Delhi, Mar 28 For several avant-garde luxury brands hitting the Indian shores, high rentals are already spoiling the party. Most are forced to charge a higher price for their goods in India as compared to picking up the same product in a market elsewhere in the world. Rentals and duties remain the key factors behind pushing up costs. On Friday FE spoke to a number of luxury retailers on the sidelines of the Mint Hindustan Times luxury summit. Of the two, rentals were considered the key reason by a unanimous choice. The cost of renting premium real estate is already similar to that in many developed luxury Markets despite the Indian market for luxury goods being still in its nascent phase. This, too, in India comes without the necessary infrastructure for promoting sales.
At present, there are only a handful of developers that are getting into developing luxury real estate like DLF Emporio in Delhi, UB Mall and MBD Zephyr in Bangalore. As a result, most Companies like Armani, Ferargamo, Christian Dior, Piaget, Lieber among others have already booked these spaces. For the rest like Gas and Rivetti, these rentals continue to be inhibitive. “Luxury brands cannot pay luxury rentals, often up to Rs 6,000 per sq ft, unless there are returns,” says Vivek Kaul, national director, JLL Meghraj, who have provided consultations to some of the upcoming luxury malls. Says high-end apparel brand GAS Apparel’s Gautam Vazirani, “for us the choice is to open stores in five cities or open a space in Delhi’s DLF Emporio”. Alessandro Raniolo, MD, premium menswear brand Ermenegildo MEDIUM dvd Zegna agrees that “the rents are …continue reading

See your car at the British International Motor Show

20 March 2008

The British International Motor Show is offering a once in a lifetime chance for your car to be exhibited at this year’s show alongside some of the greatest names in motoring.

To get on to the ‘Wall of Fame’ and to be in with a chance of seeing your car at the show, send a photograph of you and your car to mycaristhestar@britishmotorshow.co.uk and submit 150 words on what your car means to you and why it should be displayed at the show. No matter what make, age and condition we all have a story to tell about our car.

When submitting your entry, consider why you love your car. Think about what experiences and adventures you’ve shared. Why it turns you on (or others for that matter!) Why you chose it. What makes it special? Have you made any special modifications? How has your car enhanced your life? Do you have a name for your car? Have you owned your car all of your life? Did you buy it from someone famous? Is it unique?

Whether you’ve had a life-changing moment in your car such as delivering a baby on the back seat or just appreciate your car for the little things such as keeping you warm on winter’s day, we want to hear from everyone, no matter what the story is.

Organisers will also pick one lucky person to win the ultimate prize of taking their car to the show for real and placing it on their own, dedicated spot.

Marketing Director Kirsty Perkinson said, “We’re celebrating the bond we all have with our cars and we want to hear from you. We want to hear why you love your car and why we should feature your car and its story at the Show. Whether your car is your life-line

to the world, your daily run around, your chariot, your taxi for the family, your mobile office or a stylish mean machine, we want to hear your story and get your photograph up on the wall of fame.”

TORONTO —
Chris Avenir, the Ryerson University student whose involvement in a Facebook study group has set off an international debate about the difference between online collaboration and old-fashion cheating, will not face expulsion from the school.

Mr. Avenir, a first-year computer engineering student, was singled out by the university for his role as the administrator of an online study group that attracted more than 140 members looking for help with chemistry homework assignments and included a request to “input your solutions,” to assignments that accounted for 10 per cent of their mark.

When the course’s professor - who had stipulated that work be done independently - found the site he gave Mr. Avenir a failing grade for the course and charged him with academic misconduct.

James Norrie, director of the university’s school of information technology management, argues yesterday that the buzz the case has created because it involves a popular social networking site has distraction from the real issue at hand. “As soon as you put the word Facebook onto an issue it seems to change the dynamic of the issue in terms of people’s reading of it and interest in it,” he said.

But others say Mr. Avenir and his classmates were just doing what students have done for eons around library tables and in study halls. The only difference is that this time their information swapping was done online where it could be traced.

The case has created a groundswell of online support for the 18-year-old, including an online petition, a Facebook support group and a new site chrisdidntcheat.com, that among other things is selling t-shirts, hats and buttons with the slogan.

Prof. Norrie, who is speaking for Ryerson on this matter, said the case is not the first time ANZ Frequent Flyer Card that the Toronto university has dealt …continue reading
