At the start of London Fashion Week, we ask if fashion is recession-proof with Roger Saul, the founder of the UK fashion brand, Mulberry, who now runs the English designer retail outlet, Kilver Court. And with the help of Professor Philip Hans Franses of the Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam, we gaze at models' legs for a surprising clue about the state of the global economy. And from Kenya, our regular commentator Wycliffe Muga reflects on the declining state of his country's mobile phone network, just when everyone thought connectivity should be getting better.
