Considering we have a national blood lust for robotic asshat John Thain and his magical $87,000 area rug, Citibank and its new $50 million private jet, and of course for Bernie Madoff's bilking binge, it's a wonder more people don't put heat on other sectors of excess like, say, certain fashion houses. Specifically Brioni, as it introduces the most expensive line of suits in history. Brioni Vanquish II suits are made to measure, woven from rare fibers including vicuna, pashmina and Qiviuk, and fetch around $43,000. "The timing was not fortunate for us," says Andrea Perrone, Brioni's co-chief executive.
