After reading Vogue Forums Australia, I learn that some of my favourite store sales assistants were wearing floor stock, some up to 8 hours a day, then reselling it to losers like me at full price!!!!
Lets name and shame - Channel Nine’s A Current Affair show actually taped and busted Kookai!! They taped Kookai staff [...]
