Because at the end of the day, we're still friends

You know what I love? When the four fashion capitals get together and gab it out over scheduling. The article, provided by none other than Yahoo!News, gives a brief overview about the meeting held between the fashion capitals of the world and how due to good negotiating, London was spared of losing half of their Fashion Week in the next autumn 2009 season.

What I really like most about the article are the statements made by BFC Chairman Harold Tillman. He refers to how the meeting, "...has highlighted our interdependence, commitment to nurturing talent and our sharing of ideas and goals." That's an excellent example of exemplary peer relations within the industry, because not only do these people compete against each other every season, but they also have excellent social personal skills outside of the business realm. The Fashion industry is one of social politics and everyone (for the most part) plays the game very well.
