From BoingBoing... and here's the original WSJ article.
"The WSJ profiles a group of super-rich clothes-horses who pay full price for designer frocks costing tens of thousands of dollars. One hedge fund manager's wife who bought a $12,000 Alexander McQueen considers herself a "curator" and hopes "someday someone will find [my clothes] important and significant." Not entirely impossible: fashion is a kind of art, private collectors sometimes amass collections that others find interesting later.
But then there's this: A 28-year-old plastic surgeon's wife only wears her clothes once, and sometimes changes them several times a night. "
