This fashion house is credited for one of the most important fashion innovations ever. Now though, under new ownership it is a horror house. Literally. The owner treats everyone like a slave, which is not all that surprising given their upbringing. That was kind of the norm for them growing up. Contracts have been awarded for manufacturing all of the garments to companies who use child and slave labor. No one will ever catch them though because the owner of the fashion house has a lock on most of the news that comes out of the country. If you want to model for the line then you better be prepared to be passed around to all the men who are financial backers and red tape cutters for the company. The owner has zero respect for anyone unless they are rich or famous. Preferably both. When you think of evil people who run companies, this person is right at the very top of the list.

I obviously know nothing about fashion as I'm sitting here in jeans and a tshirt and shop at Walmart but....who? I figured this would be a more commonly known fashion house. Again, I'm fashion illiterate but still. Never heard of them although this is horrible on all counts.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of them either, but there's a lot of interesting info at Wikipedia. It sounds like it was an extremely famous and influential house in the early 20th century. Now it's just a nouveau riche Russian trying to capitalize on the old prestige of the brand.
ReplyDeleteAnd the win goes to @Fred84, the only correct guess on the OG post.
ReplyDeleteNAILED IT
ReplyDeleteWell, doesn't Anna Wintour have ANY power? Or is her only power to give the WOMEN'S fashion industry over to GAY MEN, instead of women?
ReplyDeleteGoga Ashkenazi looks rather soulless.
ReplyDeleteThey invented bias cut clothes?
ReplyDeleteWowee, Fred! That was a spectacular solve!

ReplyDeleteIf you know about child labour, REPORT IT!!!
