MOSCOW, December 9The situation in the fashion world will worsen amid the global economic downturn: record inflation in the US and Europe, as well as youth unemployment in China, are negatively impacting sales, said Bruno Pavlovsky, president of Chanel's fashion division.

“We don’t want to destroy anyone’s connection with the brand,” he emphasized.
