Darbees   10 #1 Posted June 20, 2007 This guy Joseph Corre, the boss of Agent Provocateur has decided to knock his MBE back for the reasons stated. I wonder why he has waited until several days after it was announced to the public that he had been awarded this honour to then knock it back. I must be out of touch in that I've never heard of him or his business before but there is a cynical side of me that says he is doing this more to promote his business than for the moral reasons he suggests.

sophiec1979   10 #2 Posted June 20, 2007 Mr Corre stressed he meant no offence to the Queen by rejecting the MBE. "This in no way reflects on my opinion of the Queen whom I respect and would be honoured to have as a customer. In fact I think she would agree with me.  what a scary thought, the queen in agent provacateur undies....now i know how dirty jabberwocky feels all the time!   x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

SarahD Â Â 10 #9 Posted June 21, 2007 I don't think he's doing it to promote his underwear collection as it's probably one of the most popular underwear brands in the country and has been name checked by tons of celebrities over the years. Also his mother is Vivienne Westwood so he could just use her name to get publicity. Â Christ, I love Agent Provocateur, wish I could afford it thought, pfft.
