A staid, long-established big store, world-famous for its elegant, restrained fabrics. A fast-talking blonde art director and her photographer, used to stopping the traffic in Bangkok, hijacking police launches in Singapore harbour and pushing tiny white models in fake furs into a front line of Masai tribesmen.
