Quote of the day
“Our regular client was not queuing [for the sale] on January 3-4 in Milan or Rome but was on the slopes in St Moritz or on a boat in the Caribbean. If I lower the price of an evening gown from €7,000 to €5,000, or that of a couture collection bag from €2,300 to €1,700, it doesn’t change much.”
Versace CEO Giancarlo Di Risio

I adore your quotes of the day – so glad they’re back!
They so perfectly demonstrate the other-wordliness of fashion. xx

I did laugh a lot at this because a) he’s probably right in some respects ref the top cliental, they were skiing but they might not buy clothes to fund the apres ski and b) such bon ami smacks of Diana Mitford which is so wrong!
