Jos A Bank rejects latest Men\'s Wearhouse offer
Houston - UPI
U.S. clothing retailer Jos. A. Bank said Monday it had rejected the latest purchase offer from rival firm Men's Wearhouse. The latest bid was for $55 per share. The Wall Street Journal reported the offer was the third made by Men's Wearhouse. The first, made in October, was an unsolicited offer of $2.3 billion, the Journal said. Concerning the latest bid: "Our board undertook a thorough review and determined that the per share consideration in the proposal made to us by Men's Wearhouse was simply not in the best interest of our shareholders. At the same time, we continue to review acquisition opportunities that would represent a strong strategic fit with our company," Jos. A. Bank Chairman Robert Wildrick said in a statement. Men's Wearhouse said it would prefer to work with Jos. A. Bank to secure a deal and that it was "surprised" at the rejection. The firm also said it would "carefully consider all of our options," including nominating directors at the next Jos. A. Bank annual shareholder meeting.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
