Excerpt from (http://news.therecord.com/Life/article/247945)
Only Nicolas Ghesquiere could get away with charging almost $6,000 for something that in many countries you can pick up on a street corner. True, the fringed ethnic scarves he sent down the Balenciaga fall runway were rich with colours and adornments, some with bronze coins or relics attached at the hem. His preppy-gone-globe-trotting look owed everything to them; they made fashion gypsies out of girls in nothing more exotic than navy blazers and khaki jodhpurs.
But $5,595 for a scarf?

For about Php1,500, I could have owned a similar scarf from Zara! I could outsource a scarf and sew a strip of circular paillettes but I'm so tamad. I could recreate it from "scratch"... but nah. I have several ethnic ones but I still don't have the ones with cute trimmings like the Balenciaga-esque one.

Huhu. I miss my fantastic plastic. It was confiscated for a week now. I feel naked without it in my purse. Haaaaaaaay.
