LUXURY IN THE AFTERMATH OF A PANDEMIC

by Patric Chauvez

Fashion News

I was reading , in a recent article in the New York Times, that the luxury goods company, Chanel, has raised the prices of it's Chanel bag a whopping 40 percent. Hermes, another luxury conglomerate, has minimized the quantity of Birkin and Kelly bags one can buy. The design houses are responding to ever-widening income inequality. This vulgarity is no better expressed than by the war criminal Vladimir Putin, who wears a $15,000.00 Loro Piana Cashmere jacket , which is worth 25 times the average monthly Russian's salary at a massive pro war rally. It's a vulgar world we live in, is it not? I must say, I love beautiful things. Today Designers are offering sublime pieces gilt, embroidered, feathered...

ANDRE’ LEON TALLEY, A TRIBUTE!

by Patric Chauvez

Fashion News

As I write, Andre' Leon Talley has passed. He was the grandest of all editors. In this gilded world of Fashion, Andre was Vogue. He wore a protective amour to protect himself from the poisonous, hateful tongue of his peers. I must say, "Fashion people aren't the nicest people". In my tenure for the Chicago Tribune, Ive attended runway shows in all three fashion destinations, New York ,Milan, and Paris. I've always stepped backed from the masses and observed the bad behavior of the fashion flock. Black Editors was a very rare thing. Andre' was fluent in French, studied Baudeliaire and knows Fashion and couture to rival the best scholars. He was the best. The only Black man to...
