'If you look at the rappers with their pale fur coats and box-fresh train-ers, what they're really saying by wearing mainly white is that they're so rich they don't have to worry about the practi-calities, such as keeping things clean: if it gets dirty, they'll buy a new one, and that's why white is seen as the ultimate luxury colour.'
