Sameer Reddy reports in NEWSWEEK on The Vulgar Game

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Sameer reddy NEWSWEEK

"What do the luxury house of Chanel and bridge-level brand BCBG Max Azria have in common? "

"As upleasant as it might be to accept, greed, avarice and unrestrained lust are built-in elements of the human psyche."

"Captains of the luxury industry, when considering their plan of action, would do well to take to heart this quote from Coco Chanel:  "I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it." Perhaps it's time for them to reconsider why they're in the game."
