Why Luxury needs a recession (Business 24-7)
"Michael Burke, President and CEO of Italian fashion house Fendi, has always maintained that luxury should not be affordable. 'It cannot be, it shouldn't be for everybody,' he insists. 'The way the products are made, the quality and the works... luxury is not for instantaneous gratification. One should aspire for it.'"

"The final day of the spring 2010 menswear collections in Milan spotlighted many of the secondary lines of some of the biggest names in fashion, collections generally perceived to be the sportier, more rebellious young brothers to the high-end lines. But rather than looking like second-class fashion citizens, these shows were collectively strong, with distinctive messages that pushed them out of the shadows of their big brothers' broad shoulders."
