Marc Worth, the fashion info tycoon is not a man to waste time.
Today, he and his brother Julian, who set up WGSN (Worth Global Style Network) ten years ago, sold the fashion information business to the media group, Emap, for £140 million. And, already, another major fashion venture beckons.
Telegraph Online understands Marc Worth will now immerse himself in a long-cherished ambition to create a full comeback for the Ossie Clark label.
Details of the re-birth are sketchy, at present, but it is understood the label will be re-launched at the next London Fashion Week in February. Worth, 44, has secured the services of the talented young designer, Avsh Alom Gur, who has previously worked with Donna Karan and Chloe, among others, to head a hand-picked design team. Full details will be announced at a media briefing in London within two weeks.

Preparations are hotting up at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Soyuz TMA-11 space craft has just completed vacuum chamber testing. At the same time, NASA astronaut and Expedition 16 Commander Peggy Whitson, Soyuz Commander and Flight Engineer Yuri Malenchenko and Malaysian Spaceflight Participant Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor (I prefer to call him an Astronaut) have been busy preparing themselves for their Oct. 10, 2007 launch on the Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). We at Syokkahwin.com would like to be the main witness to this historic event. We will follow up Malaysia’s event of the year very closely with pictures from Kazakhstan, for the preparations, launching, in the space as well as the landing of Expedition 15 here. Expedition 16 Commander Peggy Whitson, Soyuz Commander and Flight Engineer Yuri Malenchenko, and Malaysian spaceflight participant Dr. Sheikh Muszhaphar Shukor will dock to the International Space Station on Oct. 12. Yurchikhin, Kotov and Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will return to Earth on Oct. 21 in a Soyuz. The launch into space will be shown live on Malaysian local television at 9pm Malaysian time on Oct 10.
