Ms. Wintour did a lot of shooting from the hip the other night.
At a town hall styled meeting led by the Council of Fashion Designers of America, the main concern was to get consumer spending back on track. Read: paying $19,500 for a Ralph Lauren pave-diamond stirrup watch featured in one of Vogue's Last Look pages.
AnnER took the stand and contemplated why retailers can't collude on prices? Gee AnnER, illegal much?
"Could someone lead a committee that would make ground rules for retailers of when the discounting starts, and then all the retailers can agree to it?" Ms. Wintour suggested.
When designer Diane Von Furstenberg noted that would violate anti-trust laws, Wintour shot
back with a verbal bullet:"Is that something we can change? We have friends in the White House now!"
Grrrl gets it all twisted.
Obviously she's never taken an American business course at one of our colleges or even a basic economics and anti-trust class at the Learning Annex.
In London, retailers have designated days for retail discounts and she thinks that can translate here in the states but it falls under collusion in America.
Grrrrl, be a little lamb and get one of your little "fashionista" assistants to get you a business lawyer so you're briefed on how the American economic and anti-trust system works in the states.
