The article raises a number of important issues. However, the economically strained and crises ridden people, like myself, have redefined luxury/ fashion as per the depth of their wallets. In a way the fashion industry is increasing the gap between the rich and the poor, the effects may not be immediate, but the class difference will come on surface in the long run. The size of this pond is getting bigger and so are the number and size of fish in it, there is a lot of business potential here that can be further exploited- Ironic how we are an intolerant bunch of mullahs at one extreme and fashionistas at the other.
