Hamburg  - Courageous, fashion-conscious women will reach for overalls made from denim or jersey this summer.

But that's just a fashion phenomenon for certain occasions. At the other end of the style scale, designers have rediscovered office clothing, reshaping it with unconventional tailoring and using new fabrics to give suits and trousers suits a new, detailed look.

"The classic trouser suit offers new details," said the Munich-based style consultant Georg Stiels after viewing collections for summer 2009. Shorter trouser legs, shorter sleeves and new blazer styles are just some of the ideas in the new creations. The so-called new suit had a place alongside the dress and blouse at the core of the new women's fashion collections.

Hamburg  - cruised to a 5-2 win over VfL Wolfsburg to book their place in the semi-finals of the German Cup Wednesday while SV Hamburg had a few nervy moments before prevailing 2-1 against SV Wehen.

Five-time winners Bremen raced into an early two-goal lead thanks goals in the first six minutes from midfielders Diego and Mesut Ozil and although Wolfsburg managed to restore parity, a brace from Claudio Pizarro ensured a comfortable win for Thomas Schaaf's side.

Hamburg - Reports of a management buy-out which would allow the Honda team to compete in the 2009 Formula One season would not be confirmed by the team on Monday.

A spokeswoman told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa the Honda racing team had "no further comments or updates to make on the team's situation at this time."

British media reports have said a buy-out is being led by the team principal Ross Brawn and chief executive Nick Fry.

The future of the team has been in doubt after Honda announced in December it was withdrawing as constructor and engine supplier from Formula One.
