Trump is back in office, shame is seemingly out and greed is in – with conspicuous consumerism on the catwalks and beyond. Look around and you could be back in 1987 ...The first time I heard the phrase “boom boom” was at a fashion show in January: Prada in Milan. While I sat waiting for something incredibly tasteful to appear on the catwalk, out marched a bare-chested model with a pashmina-sized fur draped over his shoulders.
