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
