The Envelope - Luxury goods, what are they good for? (Absolutely nothing)

For many, especially the underprivileged - seeing fashion models such as Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevigne and Kendall Jenner clothed in name brands was like adding insult to injury. This was because it's bad enough that designer brand clothing is a device used to illustrate and magnify the disparity between the leisure classes and the working masses, but the models are...
