Re: The Style of Charles Saatchi

Huntsman may flourish under this new ownership / business model.

Rubinacci and A&S seem to be doing the same, or a similar thing.

So let's get serious. Apart from my wife and David Cameron who is still on Team Nigella?

Re: The Style of Charles Saatchi

I think the answer is obvious: that elusive quality of provenance and tradition. New money has the potential to get a kick out of purchasing from a tailor/shoe maker or whatever, that has been operational for 200 years or more. I imagine there could be a sense of being the next vanguard of some sartorial edge or even the establishment that will legitimize the new money's aspiration for acceptance and place at the table.

Whether that's all perception or not, it certainly it works for the herd as well: a ubiquitous brand such as Ralph Lauren which is available literally everywhere, markets itself on youthful prep American elite fantasies for the toiling classes.

Why would a hip hop gangsta' rapper be attracted to Huntsman? I don't know, I have no idea what goes on in the mind of the practitioners of the modern day minstrel show.

I'm interested in Formby's comment "The world has changed...." How in context to the likes of Jermyn Street and Hunstman?

Re: The Style of Charles Saatchi

why would I regret saying that Dudley?

@hepcat .. im not sure 50 cent or any other rapper would be that interested in shopping on the row .. although I think kanye west has had things made by one, although looking at him and his buxom kim all I can see are D labels galore so maybe these have found their way to the back of his cupboard (or perhaps he breaks out the tasteful stuff in private only?). Where there is a connection is that the idiot scions of oligarchy are probably influenced by hip hop subculture & are fans of these 'entertainers', bizarre as it seems, I recall the nepali prince who killed most of his family was supposed to be an ardent fan, young dumb arabs living in marble arch, knightsbridge driving around in lambos like london clubs playing hip hop stuff  ... actually when you think about it there is a certain logic in why this should be the case, a love of conspicuous consumption, a relaxed attitude to criminality in the pursuit of enriching oneself (one is comfortable with embezzlement, bribery & cronyism, the other promotes the more simple art of robbery and drug pushing), an outsider status & a propensity to treat women as meat.

Re: The Style of Charles Saatchi

Crompie and Foulksie are just town-boys and probably don't know their Damascus from their Acier Cockerill - and as for Sherwood - I am sure that the only shooting he has ever done is at the fairground.

However, I know people who do wear tweeds shooting - but they are fully broken-in, crumpled, rumpled, rather stinky, stretched and worn - not prissie, pristine Huntsman ensembles, straight out of the box.
