56 m. ago It could set the industry back 50 years: fashion braces for impact of Trump tariffs

From farmers to designers, the entire supply chain will be hit – but it is unclear what duties apply to a finished productFirst it was steel producers. Then automobiles. Now the fashion industry has been left reeling from Donald Trump’s announcement on Wednesday that he was imposing tariffs on more than 180 countries including severe levies aimed at some of fashion’s biggest manufacturing regions.Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs included a 10% duty on all imports to the US but “worst offender” countries – those with whom America has bigger trade deficits – face a higher rate. Several of these are key to fashion’s supply chains. China, where everyone from Prada to Zara outsource production, faces a 54% duty. Vietnam, where more than half of Nike’s footwear was produced last year, will be subject to a 46% tariff. Pakistan, a key manufacturer of denim items, will be hit with a 29% duty.

10 h. ago De Bruyne’s perfectly timed departure marks tipping point in Guardiola era | Jonathan Liew

The City midfielder made his teammates look like geniuses and once more he is making just the right move at just the right momentNot for the first time, Kevin De Bruyne read the situation to perfection. Not for the first time, he spotted the right play just a little earlier than everyone else. And of course this was always his gift: not simply to pick the right option but to do it faster than anyone else, buying him those crucial fractions of a second when everything else was in flux and only he in stillness.And of course this was not the only respect in which De Bruyne understood the game of football better than most.
