Armani And Prada Unite Over The Milan Fashion Week Furore – 19/4/10

This development, discussed in a New York Fashion article, shows when competitors collaborate in a rarefied world, they exert power and receive appropriate attention.

Another example of when enemies become friends in the name of fashion was when France’s haute couture jewellers banded together in February in a joint bid to conquer lucrative emerging markets (click here to read our earlier report).
