While 2500$ is indeed a quite excessive amount, you also have to remember that a lot of people make a living from fashion. It's an industry who allow hundred of thousand people to earn their daily bread. And I think Rania, who is one of the most famous woman in the world (hence one of the most mediatic), who regularly appears in lists of best dressed woman and most beautiful woman (she has just been voted 3rd most beautiful woman in the world by British fashion magazine Harper's and Queen); well I doubt Rania pay full price for her clothes. She might have minimum 50% reduction and quite a lot of freebies.Monalisa said:Yes ,those who are obsseded by them self, and doesn't feel secure if they are not in the center of the intentions of the world basing on superficial things

Wow! That's what I call misinterpreting my post! I was not excusing Rania, I was responding to a message presenting people buying designer clothes as superficial and self-centered. My point was just to say that there is nothing evil in buying these kind of clothes. Now, then I mention her to say that as a public figure, Rania might not pay a lot for her clothes anyway.Monalisa said:it's easy to excuse her ,but there are priorities for her as a queen of a poor country, so she could think about her people first, and then to worry about the future of the industry of the fashion.
Hum... well that's an opinion. For my part, I consider Rania as classy and well, Caroline lead a far more expensive life style than Rania so I don't quite see the point.Rania is not more than a "trick" manufactured by those medias like which you quoted, in service of a ostentatious luxury, and this is the difference between her and classy women like Caroline of monaco and Mathilde of Belgium, who don't need flowers from medias and propaganda to be recognized !
I think this is just a big lie made by those who buy such expensive clothes and their blind fans,99%of the designer's clients are celebrities,and if they just give discounts on everything celebrities buy they wont make any profit at all,plus in the list of their clients royalties stand in bottom,there're so many in the world who dont know about royalties.do you really think that Prada,chanel or other brands with so many hollywood stars with global popularity as their clients needs Rania to wear their products as advertisment?ask your pals,family,friends and...howmany of them know that Jordan has a monarchy?how many of them has ever heard Rania's name?Idriel said:I doubt Rania pay full price for her clothes.

monamona said:Many people (including myself) find Rania pretty and who dresses nicely. We know that she did some plastic surgery to fix her nose and some suspect she did some botox injections [her face] and lips enhancement [upper lip especially]. No harm in all these procedures. . This does not mean that Rania looked that horrible before these procedures...
BUT people who has a good knowledge of Jordan's political and economic situation blame her insensitive behavior towards her own people when she over spends and acts as if she is coming from a rich country. Some members here do not tolerate criticism towards Rania and think that any negative opinion means jealousy....By the way, No one says she should look cheap.... ..There is something called moderation...
NB: of course, there are also members who do not give much attention how she is paying her clothes. Their MAIN focus is on her look. They JUST want to enjoy seeing/posting her beautiful clothes, makeup, jewellery and accessories. they jump from time to time to say something about her as a way to balance their posts..
Monamona, I addition of being very judgmental, you post does not make sense. Have you checked the name of this tread? Of course we will post pretty pics of Rania here, this is a fashion tread, not a political thread!monamona said:NB: of course, there are also members who do not give much attention how she is paying her clothes.

I'm sorry but this statement shows your poor knowledge of the fashion industry and also the socials, cultural and economical realities of the West.cute_girl said:I think this is just a big lie made by those who buy such expensive clothes and their blind fans,99%of the designer's clients are celebrities, and if they just give discounts on everything celebrities buy they wont make any profit at all, plus in the list of their clients royalties stand in bottom,there're so many in the world who don't know about royalties.do you really think that Prada,chanel or other brands with so many hollywood stars with global popularity as their clients needs Rania to wear their products as advertisment?
I must say I'm very shocked by this statement! I'm from France, I live in the UK and I travel often in Germany to see family and in all those countries, anyone who read at least from time to time a newspaper knows there is a monarchy in Jordan. And it's not because of Rania. King Hussein was a charismatic leader. His illness and death were widely reported in the media (I remember that a special issue of Paris Match-a very important magazine in France-was made for him http://www.parismatch.com/images/couvertures/1999/M0005097.jpgask your pals,family,friends and...howmany of them know that Jordan has a monarchy?how many of them has ever heard Rania's name?
