PARIS, Jun 15, 2008 / FW/ —Gas prices might be sky high to the point that it is not only car owners who complain of gasoline price. Airlines are also bemoaning the high cost of jet fuel. But, haute couture clients are immune to market fluctuations. They will still come to Paris to witness the unveiling of the Fall 2008 / Winter 2009 collections.
The only question is, will they be traveling in their private jets as usual, or will they just fly first class? Either way, they will attend the season whether or not the price of a barrel of crude oil keeps on going up.
