    The word ‘veiled’ means ‘not expressed clearly’. It is incorrect here. The correct word is ‘wailed’, which means ‘to make a long, high cry, usually because of pain or sadness’. While the fashion world wailed about the effect of the collapse of the economy on retail, she briskly assumed the leadership role.
