Versace will not pander to the recession by lowering its prices or offering dramatic sale discounts, the label's ceo said in an interview with Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore yesterday.
"Our regular client was not queuing on January 3-4 in Milan or Rome but was on the slopes in St Moritz or on a boat in the Caribbean," he said. "We want to offer a real luxury and not to open our doors to the consumption of young girls who can put the designer handbag of their dreams on their arm with less than 300 Euros. We are not interested in that."

Hi Marian-I just LOL when I read it, its their call how they manage their business, but it just made me laugh!

Hi Janettaylor-thanks my dear!
I don't think my eye could roll any further--they'd fall out of my head.
Hahaha- I love the quote and the photo for their impracticality. I think Versace will eat their words pretty soon.
I had to laugh too! Its such a haughty, let them eat cake statement :)
Yikes! Harsh words.
Well Versace is just so incredibly classy, isn't it!
Haha, I agree, they will eat their words when they experience the recession!
What a thing to say. Hilarious. We shall see if they survive this storm because everyone will be affected before it's all over.
ROFL!
I don't know how Versace will survive the recession then.
It's a bit 'let them eat cake' isn't it?! I don't think this will be well recieved by anyone, even fashion is becoming open to humility and austere. Someone needs to tell Donatella that, she clearly missed the memo!
what a jerky statement. it really should have been worded better.
Versace CEO, boo! certainly he could have said this better.
I love the accompanying photo!
I hope I can steal some of their rich clients for myself!
Hi everyone-thanks for the great comments!!
Snobs! And just for the record, I couldn't afford their stuff even if it was around 300 Euros! What does that make me? Hmm... :)
Hi Cal-aren't they, I'm with you too!
LOL love the picture with the statement, funny post.
xoxo
Hi the seeker-yes, made me laugh too!
Well someone certainly has a way with words....
Hi tor-yes, too true, thanks for stopping by!
