The Feckhams have now branded a Scotch whisky - er - WTF does that pair know about it?

Fashion, luxurious goods and trends have moved from being bespoken by customers, through the cycle of being prescribed by manufacturers, under celebrity endorsement, right around to celebrity spec and manufacture for a very gullible customer-base - in a survey, 70% of celebrity scents go untested by the purchaser "If it's good 'nuff for Posh Spice then it's plenty good 'nuff fer me."

The fact that it is called "Beck's Dutch Oven" is quite beside the point.

I thought the lilac dress shirt not bad looking at all, but Weller's disinterest in football is well known and yet, he's willing to say he was getting fashion influences from Georgie Best, which appear like some marketing spin to get the terrace crew on board.

Celebrity endorsements been going on for quite sometime, Louis Armstrong cigars were all the rage back in the late 1920's and the endorsement of whisky brands by tea total actors and other celebs in Japan has been going on since the early 60s.

But I agree with Dud, there is a vacuous nature to celebrity today.

I had a nice chat with the guy that is starting it with Mr Wellar about unlined collars. He runs a menstore on Portabello and although he's very much got his own handwriting, he does stock some ivy friendly stuff in store. He also showed me the shirts for next summer which had a great fabric.

Yep.  Just let the clothes speak for themselves, without any goofy embellishments or visible labels.  Put the red star on the tag if you must.
