Nickelodeon’s star SpongeBob Squarepants have been spotted making the rounds in the cities this year to spread some fashion tips for the New Year. According to the beloved cartoon character, the color that should be worn is Yellow.

Yellow is meant to be everywhere, Spongebob said, adding that blacks and grays should be avoided and go for more colorful designs for this season and the next. He reasoned that having these colors eliminates the usual gloomy days and adds sunshine into anyone’s wardrobes.

For young boys and girls, the best combination is having something yellow either on the top or the sneakers. Yellow bags are great to look at this season, he said.

To further accentuate the campaign for the color yellow, Spongebob said that it would not hurt to buy some bright accessories to complement the clothes.

Zafer Caglayan, Turkey’s Minister of Trade and Industry, has reportedly invited fashion and design companies to take part in the Istanbul Fashion Week 2010, an event which aims to build a more united fashion industry. The event will take place from February 3 to 6, 2010.

Caglayan said during a press conference on Friday that this event, to take place for the second time following its successful debut last August, has been ignored in the past. He stressed that the Istanbul Fashion Week will be crucial in terms of making the first step in promoting unity among the leading players in the fashion, textile and design market.

Hikmet Tanriverdi, President of the Istanbul Ready-to-Wear and Apparel Exporters Association, said that they are aiming for the goal of making Istanbul as one of the top five cities in the world that’s leading in the fashion market. The target year is 2023.

Authorities in Sydney are currently searching for three suspects believed to have taken part in the stealing of thousands of dollars worth of fashion handbags sold in a post Prada store last week.

The boutique, located in Martin Place, was broken into by thieves early in the morning, with both front glass doors smashed open.
According to reports, the men have immediately snatched the bags that are part of the new line, with each item costing about $3,000 each.

The CCTV footage of the robbery revealed that the robbers were heavily disguised which makes it difficult to identify them. The robbery is the first of its kind in New South Wales in several months.

The robbers have said to have escaped southbound on George Street where they boarded a blue Subaru vehicle. The vehicle, with an identifiable license plate, was stolen a few weeks ago.
The authorities are asking the public for assistance as for the whereabouts of the thieves.
