Topshop Announces New Ashish Range for 2011

Topshop has announced that Ashish will stage a return to stores with another collection of printed t-shirts.

2011-01-14

LONDON, ENGLAND, January 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Topshop has announced it will be welcoming Ashish back for another collection of his printed t-shirts this January.

Inspired by the fast-food industry, mixed with a touch of Ashish's trademark comic style, the collection is made up of two oversized t-shirts and two sweatshirts with images of convenience food featured on the front. These include an ice cream sundae, a fried breakfast in the shape of a smiley face, a hotdog 'happy meal' and a colourful iced doughnut. The bright pictures stand out against the plain white, navy and black backgrounds.

Affectionately known by the style set as the 'King of Sequins', Ashish Gupta first worked with Topshop in 2004 when he won NEW GEN sponsorship. His collections mix sportswear and high-octane glamour, often using bright colours, sequins and prints.

Ashish commented: "The inspiration was very easy - I love junk food. I was thinking of what I would like to wear to the gym, and I thought junk food on t-shirts and sweatshirts would be perfect. Perhaps not very motivational, but definitely very amusing."

This collection marks Ashish's sixth with Topshop and will be available in the Oxford Circus, Brompton Road, Selfridges and New York stores and on Topshop's website from January.

2011-01-14

Consumers are looking for honest information about debt relief, but the right information is often hard to find.

US family physicians miss opportunities to discuss IUDs with patients

2011-01-13

January 11, 2011 – (BRONX, NY) – Intrauterine devices (IUDs) for contraception are safe and effective, but only a small fraction of women in the United States use them. Now, a national survey of family physicians conducted by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, has found that family physicians typically have gaps in knowledge about IUDs, are often uncomfortable discussing them with patients, and frequently believe that their patients would not be receptive to talking about IUDs. The findings are published in the December 3 online ...

First genetic test for predicting IVF success

2011-01-13

January 11, 2011 — (BRONX, NY) — A researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has helped to develop the first genetic blood test for predicting the chances that in vitro fertilization (IVF) will lead to a successful pregnancy. The test, reported in the online medical journal PLoS One, is based on the finding that different subtypes of the FMR1 gene (also known as the fragile X mental retardation gene) in potential mothers are associated with significantly different chances of conceiving with IVF. "This is the first evidence that a specific ...

Texas A&M study finds courtship affects gene expression in flies

2011-01-13

COLLEGE STATION, Jan. 11, 2011 – Biologists at Texas A&M University have made an important step toward understanding human mating behavior by showing that certain genes become activated in fruit flies when they interact with the opposite sex. Their research, published in the January 2011 issue of the journal GENETICS, shows that courtship behaviors may be far more influenced by genetics than previously thought. In addition, this new understanding as to why and how these genes become activated within social contexts may also lead to insight into disorders such as autism. "Be ...

Measles virus, a weapon against cancer?

2011-01-13

GALVESTON, Texas — When most people in the developed world think of measles, what comes to mind is only a dim memory of a vaccination at a pediatrician's office. But while childhood vaccination has virtually eliminated measles from North America and much of Europe, researchers remain interested in the virus. This fascination persists partly because improving the measles vaccine could help eliminate the more than 10 million measles infections and 150,000 measles-caused deaths that still occur worldwide. But it also has another source: Scientists believe that modified ...

New UCLA-designed microscope records firing of thousands of individual neurons in 3-D

2011-01-13

Some disorders of the brain are obvious — the massive death of brain cells after a stroke, the explosion in the growth of cells that marks a tumor. Other disorders, such as autism, schizophrenia and mental retardation show no physical signs of damage and are believed to be caused by problems in how brain cells communicate with one another. To understand the root of the problem of these latter diseases, visualizing brain activity is key. But even the best imaging devices available — fMRIs and PET scans — can only give a "coarse" picture of brain activity. UCLA neuroscientists ...

At the same time, it is the first study to ...

Projections of cancer care costs in the US: 2010-2020

2011-01-13

The estimated total cost of cancer care in the United States in 2020 is expected to be $158 billion assuming the most recent observed patterns of incidence, survival, and cost remain the same. This represents a 27% increase from 2010 due only to the projected aging and growth of the US population, according to a study published online January 12th in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, the authors also note the cost of cancer care could rise even more quickly under some reasonable assumptions such as a 2% annual increase in costs of the initial and final ...
