      Just Call Her Queen of Style

      Pilati Wears YSL With Ease

      Hemlines Drop; Are Stocks Next?

      (Newser) - If a popular adage about style and stocks holds up, New York's Fashion Week spells trouble for investors. The spring collections on display in the Bryant Park tents this week presented more modest looks, Reuters reports, with many knee-length or lower dresses and skirts. That may mean rough going if it's true that markets and hemlines fall together. More »
