This statement is false. Sylvio Mazerati states only that he intends to increase profits for D&C (specifically that he plans to "triple" them). It is "fashion insiders" that speculate on how Mazerati plans to achieve these financial objectives. Specifically, they suggest that Sylvio Mazerati will "outsource abroad for cheaper labour and materials".
This statement is false. Sylvio Mazerati never promises anything. He announces that he intends to triple D&C's profits, but it is "fashion insiders" that predict that he will outsource production and materials. Mazerati himself never refers to this.
This statement is true. We read in the article that Sylvio Mazerati is "notorious" (or "known") for his "astute business sense". An "astute" person is "clever", "intelligent" or "shrewd". For example: His astute observations led to major improvements to the product.
This statement is false. The article states that the biggest "advantage that D&C had over its competitors" was its locally-produced clothing and authentic tailoring. This advantage is unrelated to "cheap labour", which was not used by D&C while under the family's management.
