So far it looks like the mighty — not the worthy — will survive." Isn't it a thing to worry about? I can clearly see why the likes of Karl Lagerfeld don't really care the horror of the current economic climate but let's face it: the LVMH darlings and Gucci Group kids are least possible names to fall victims of the downturn. But what can we say about those who don't have such a monstrous back-up nor financial freedom for a 'let them eat cake' mood? How many talented and promising names will this thing eat alive? I do hope there's some room for justice and miracles in this world, but really...
