I guess Alexander stays in buisness by showroom tone downs of his themes. Along with Galliano he and Husein must do major tone downs to apease the Gucci group and LVMH heads. sad though. I would love to see a tiered ruffled burgandy satin jacket. or one of his Mqueen's coccoon dresses; or better yet a Husein table dress or LCD screen dress but you have to make the money I guess.
Its the buyers as well though. A more avante garde or super highend special boutique with only one store will proably have the strict interpretatons. Pat Fields stores prob have the exact stuff.
