Look at the fashion page of the FT for tortuous connections between pictures of gorgeous girls and economic trends. The FT's demographic can't switch off from business even while reading about designer fashion, so against shots of catwalk models you can read about hemlines being linked to the health of markets. One designer's fondness for separates and jumpsuits indicated a desire to "buckle up, batten down and hibernate for the duration (of a recession)". Elsewhere, "as the Dow Jones industrial average dropped ... Chanel's skirt lengths dropped - all the way to the ankles."
