    I volunteer to comfort laid-off models. This will consist of taking them to steak dinners and offering them a place to sleep.

    @CaptainFantastic: My first thought was "steak dinners? My, how generous!" And then I realized the craftiness at play. How much does picking at a house salad go for these days?

    @DahlELama: No no, I want them to eat steak. I assume they will not have eaten in a fortnight.

    Meanwhile Louis Vuitton and Gucci are still profiting off the sale of keychains and wallets to tourists.

    @hypocriteoath: Some brands benefit from the knock offs. The brands that are attractive to the neuvo riche, because they are familiar with the brands and equate owning the real thing with success.

    @Lymed has a Mr. Lymed: They may benefit in a small way from increased brand recognition, but that's about it.


    Frankly, I think they brought the explosion of knock-offs onto themselves by caving to the demand for giant logos that the status obsessed love to sport. When the thing that set a purse or a piece of luggage apart was superior quality of materials and craftsmanship, they weren't so easily duplicated.

    One could probably figure out that rationality doesn't play a huge part in Donatella Versace's day by looking at her LIPS and SKIN.
