Brown and green are in

If APEC leaders could be considered as avant garde in men's fashion, then they've set next year's dominant color. It will be either brown or dark green.

Long before coming to Bogor, the APEC leaders were sent samples of designs, to reflect their nation's identity, and the color of batiks they would wear for Bogor. Most have gone for brown and dark green, judging by yesterday's appearance.

Only Indonesia's Soeharto and Japan's Tomiichi Murayama opted for a lighter color. (emb)
