Ok...I think Claudia just uses the Armani because it's catching (that bit about a silent partner...well I'm not buying it).
But, she does have some good connections because the clothing is top notch, the prices are great, and the service is good (tell them your size and what you are looking for and you'll get a call and soon as they find it).
I've bought shoes here that have only seen a runway...they are that new.
