True Religion Prospers

In a sign that not everything is fair in the fashion world, True Religion Inc. reported Wednesday that their fourth-quarter earnings surpassed Wall Street estimates, prompting a jump in share prices. For the final three months of 2012, True Religion reported a net income of $13.8 million, off revenues of $137 million, a 14.8% increase over fourth-quarter 2011. These numbers are nothing short of horrifying: it’s difficult to imagine any more pairs of True Religion leaking into an already saturated market place, while worthwhile denim brands like KMW flounder. Awful.

How did this get picked? why? is it an automatic web robot, or is it an Oz-like deal?

Anyway, the answer is Nii, for matching his pocket square & waistcoat colours to the yellow and red of his fruit basket. That's next level. I just knew I should have put a fruit basket in my photo...
