Not to be too cynical, but you have to wonder if the luxury houses that have recently shown Asian-inspired collections (Louis Vuitton) aren't really just trying to grab the attention of the new luxury market in that part of the world?

That's what came to mind with Ralph Lauren's latest, which was closer to the old Hollywood version of Asia ("The Lady from Shanghai") than anything new and relevant.
