One trend I’ve noticed in the FW12 menswear shows coming from Milan & Paris is the sheer volume of capes and poncho’s coming down the runway. From Dior Homme & Calvin Klein Collection to Mugler & Yohji Yamamoto, menswear designers are pushing the image of the caped crusader (though I tend to see them more as the bad guy than the hero out to save the day).

Why I believe the value of degrees will dilute
Mr Heng Swee Keat, Singapore’s Minister for Education, was at an inaugural ministerial forum organised by Singapore Management University yesterday evening. At the forum, Mr Heng assured students that the expansion of university sector will not dilute the value of degrees (ChannelsNewsAsia, TODAY).

The truth is there's more than enough for everyone
Henry Hamilton: How old are you? In real time?
Will Salas: Twenty-eight.
Henry Hamilton: I'm 105.
Will Salas: Good for you. You won't see 106, you have too many more nights like tonight.
Henry Hamilton: You are right. But the day comes when you've had enough. Your mind can be spent, even if your body's not. We want to die. We need to.
Will Salas: That's your problem? You've been alive too long? You ever known anyone who's died?
Henry Hamilton: For a few to be immortal, many must die.
Will Salas: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Henry Hamilton: You really don't know, do you? Everyone can't live forever. Where would we put them? Why do you think there are Time Zones? Why do you think taxes and prices go up the same day in the ghetto? The cost of living keeps rising to make sure people keep dying. How else could there be men with a million years while most live day to day? But the truth is there's more than enough. No one has to die before their time. If you had as much time as I have on that clock, what would you do with it?
Will Salas: I'd stop watching it. I can tell you one thing. If I had all that time, I sure as hell wouldn't waste it.
