Give up? It was shoemaker to the fairly well off, Monolo Blahnik, in the Wall Street Journal. 

“I find the idea of the super rich quite disgusting. I recently turned down a lot of money to create a mass-market type product. I don’t want to make that sort of money if I am polluting my brand.”

I hate to rain on Mr. Blahnik’s Don’t-Show-Me-The-Money Parade but this makes less sense than my four year old talking in his sleep about… Well, I couldn’t understand him but I think it had to do with dogs. Or flowers. Or ice cream. I don’t know. It didn’t make any sense at all.
