Description

'Lauren Goldstein Crowe and Sagra Maceira de Rosen have taken a GBP500 stiletto and used it to burst the bubble of hot air and secrecy that surrounds the business of selling luxury goods' Toby Young, author of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People 'There is nothing sexier than a confident, intelligent woman. For the last decade, Lauren Goldstein Crowe and Sagra Maceira de Rosen have impressed the fashion and business worlds with their thoughtful critiques and analysis of the fashion industry. Together they make a formidable team' Tom Ford, former Creative Director of Gucci Group 'In my tenure as the CEO of Gucci, I had dealings with literally hundreds of journalists. Lauren Goldstein Crowe was, without a doubt, the one who was best able to convey the crazy world of luxury goods at a crazy time to a general interest reader. Sagra Maceira de Rosen equally stood out as the only luxury goods analyst who understood that it takes more to make this business tick than a good spreadsheet' Domenico De Sole, former CEO of Gucci Group
