"But is all this gifting necessarily a bad thing? Does it matter if a few designers like to feel generous, and to see their clothes on beautiful women (Giorgio Armani reportedly offered half a million pounds to actress Jessica Chastain to wear his gown to the Oscars).I believe gifting to the fashion press is verging on bribery. It skews the opinion of the very people who should be critics and taste-makers. Fashion is an industry built on lies, we know it is — an airbrushed world that is forever young, where nothing is too expensive, where we all deserve what we don’t really need."
