...paid top dollar to be dropped into the middle of the Amazon. Uniqueness is something, along with quality, that luxury consumers desire universally?who doesn't covet that one-of-a-kind object, whether it be an Hermès handbag, a Breguet watch or even a multimillion-dollar Damien Hirst skull? But luxury is also about layering comfort into our turbocharged daily lives. As Coco Chanel once said, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it's not luxury." Nobody knows this better than the handful of dynamic women who drive the global luxury-goods business?from Jimmy Choo president Tamara Mellon...

Hirst says he contemporized dialogue but not much else, and he estimates that about 85% of the show is historically accurate.
