WONDERING what to pack?
Packing for a cruise holiday can be a daunting task: what will the weather bring? What style of clothes will be appropriate? Formal or casual? Slacks or shorts? Fortunately news outlets in China have reported a new fashion trend, sackcloth, giving cruisers an insight into cutting edge attire and ensuring that they keep in-step with local fashions. Designed as a definitive statement on returning to “the simple life” the sackcloth range is certainly setting tongues wagging, with the designer’s street debut of the line garnering mixed reactions from the public. “I just thought that she couldn’t afford a proper dress,” said one confused passer-by of his reaction to a model sporting a high-end sackcloth dress (pictured right).
