Berlin - German men are surpassing women in the amount of time they take on personal care, according to a study conducted by Germany's cosmetic association in Berlin.

Every day men take an average of 17 minutes for personal care - not including facial care. They need an additional 13 minutes for that, and they need time to shave and shower or bathe. Women take an average of 26 minutes, the cosmetic association said.

Cleansers, moisturizers and fragrances have become part of the average man's routine. The study shows that four different fragrances now can be found in an average German man's bathroom cabinet. Twelve per cent of German men use make-up. The most popular are concealers and facial powders. Lipstick and nail polish are used by 3 per cent.

Munich - Dressing in denim from head to toe can be too much of a good thing. A pair of jeans topped with a denim shirt is already overdoing it, according to Munich style consultant Georg Stiels. Add a jeans jacket and you have double trouble.

"No more than one denim article should be worn at a time," pronounced Stiels. "Or at least the cloth should be confined to one part of the body" - wear either a denim top or a denim bottom, in other words.

New York - Shoes, furniture and cars have been mass produced on assembly lines for years. Why doesn't the same apply for houses?

This question has intrigued several architects, including Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright and Marcel Breuer, all of whom experimented with the idea of building homes using modular design principles. Their part practical, part utopian ideas are part of an exhibit in New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) entitled Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling.

MoMA describes the exhibit as a survey of the past, present and future of the prefabricated home and a building project on the museum's vacant west lot. It aims to display the process of architectural design and production in equal measure with the actual end result.
