what do jewelry makers tiffany's and accessories line lamberston truex have in common? well, think of the above title as having a musical accompaniment of <<DUN DUN DUUNNN!!>>, because you are in for a surprise. a closer look at some of your favorite brands may reveal some unexpected family ties or perhaps even a few black sheep:

as shocking as some of these may be, it simply goes to show that at its base fashion is essentially a business, with mergers and acquisitions forming a large, profit-enhancing bulk of it. but why the wide ranging aesthetic is some of these? perhaps they're just diversifying their portfolios. lottie ntim
