Prof. Thomai Serdari from the Stern School of Business at NYU said that luxury brands were mainly " in The Business of selling their creations" goods that many people " covet".
" In tense moments like The One We Are living now, it is a very good idea to not aggravate The Situation with an explicit statement that would offend anyone and that could perhaps provoke a worse reaction, " she suggested.
