Trendy St. Moritz is famous for its glitzy après-ski scene, which features glamorous shops selling trendy, high-priced designer dresses. Sometimes busier than the ski slopes, the wealthy collect $16,000 red crocodile Prada bags, jewels and furs. Shop windows in the five star luxury hotel Badrutt’s Palace reflect the excesses afforded by well-heeled tourists.
