But as the civil disobedience continues to mount, and the wealthy themselves are being directly blamed, you can leave it to the fashion industry to continue marketing luxury goods using ultra-decadence as an aspirational branding strategy.
This Agent Provocateur video [contains sexualized nudity, via Animal NY] is a perfect example.

I don't particularly like this spot, but this is fantasy... if we're talking Wall Streeters you probably can't pick and choose your advertising 'in light of'. I would say most of it would be considered decadent and/or pretentious and decadence can be subjective. Not that I don't have issues with this... just not in a 99% context.
