About this audiobook

Fashion is a business of smoke and mirrors, notorious for crushing the souls of most who dare to be part of the industry. Go on a global expedition with New York City-based fashion buyer, strategist, and consultant, Mercedes Gonzalez, as she learns that there is no glamour in fashion and that only cutthroat corporate espionage prevails. From politicking with blood diamond dealers and Russian kingpins to living in indigenous villages, she has relied on her street smarts and fear of her uncle in order to outwit the industry tyrants at their own game. The underdog becomes the overlord (at-large). You'll want to grab a notebook for all the business (and life) tips this read has to offer. Advance warning, this book will convince you to become a proponent of child labor, an advocate of GMO, and a cynic of organic cotton.

    Oookkaayy. This is the story of a woman with drive and determination, someone who knows her subject and has some wild stories. I have to draw the line though - my views on life and the planet are completely different. She says she would stop at nothing and even eat live monkey brains to get a deal. She eats rattlesnake soup and wears exotic leathers. Child labour in Pakistan is ok because she used to work after school. She does institute a scheme to help Pakistani cottage industries. Otherwise a tone-deaf autobiography. Sadly no mention of the environmental disaster that is fashion. Sorry. Not for me.
