Can You Do A Summary?… Please…?
Posted on August 18th, 2009 1 commentThe party’s over, even for the superrich. High-net-worth individuals, who lived on a scale most of us can’t imagine—private jets; megayachts; third, fourth and fifth homes; gleaming AmEx black cards with no limit—are seeing their credit-card bills come due. So they’re cutting back, in their own way, by selling the boat, buying ready-to-wear instead of couture and giving up Iranian caviar for breakfast—baby steps. It might sound ridiculous, but they’ve got to start somewhere. Of course, they don’t exactly qualify as Wal-Mart shoppers yet; the ultrawealthy are still ultrawealthy, just slightly less so.
In terms of buying power, they remain a force to be reckoned with—and for luxury conglomerates, a demographic to be even more aggressively courted. But the nouveau expenditures of recent memory seem a little gauche when your housekeeper just had her house repossessed and your pool boy is drowning in debt. A new era of less obvious luxury is about to be ushered in, the kind that walks softly and doesn’t carry an oversize, logo-covered stick. Foreshadowed by the success of ahead-of-the-curve brands like Bottega Veneta, we can expect the luxury industry to attempt an overnight transformation to understatement.
For starters, consumers would be well served to cut out overtly branded handbags with outrageous price tags. “It” bags haven’t been where it’s at for a while now, and those who continue to carry them look more like fashion victims than trendsetters. The only markets where they continue to be status symbols are in those that are relatively insulated from the financial meltdown, like the Middle East, Russia and India. Although their markets and currencies are being battered, they still have vast reserves of newly minted wealth waiting to be spent, and a burning desire for obvious symbols to affirm their new status.
For the rest of the world, however, it’s a good time to get back to basics, and with handbags it doesn’t get much simpler than the classic tote. The Platonic ideal of carryalls, tote bags can range from humble to haute, but whatever the price point, they share an essential shape that marries classic form with practical function, such as schlepping stacks of bills from the bank to stuff under your mattress. L.L. Bean makes a no-nonsense canvas model for under $20, and Anya Hindmarch’s collectible “I Am Not a Plastic Bag” styles are now running upwards of $100 on eBay—quite a mark-up from the less than $10 they originally cost. Those who can’t bear to carry something common can opt for Hermès’ Garden Party tote in canvas and grain leather that sells for approximately $1,600, giving the bearer subtle bragging rights without any tacky logo overload.
When it comes to clothing, it’s less clear what to wear when the world appears headed for the poorhouse, but a safe guideline seems to be that if people can easily identify your outfit’s price tag, then it’s time to change. The legions of wealthy women who typically rely on fashion titles like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar for sartorial guidance should check out the masterful creations from Indian designer Sabyasachi, who shows in both Mumbai’s and New York’s fashion weeks and retails in a number of important boutiques around the world. Both his Indian and Western collections manage to imbue a humble rural esthetic with the kind of effortless style that the upper classes are constantly straining to achieve. He pairs a sophisticated color palette and print sense with traditional hand embroidery in earth tones and antique gold, instead of excessive eveningwear covered in diamanté and in-your-face sequins. Sabyasachi finds beauty in the everyday people who are all too often dismissed by the upper classes. His creations serve as a reminder that today’s masters of the universe might soon become the little people they’ve grown used to ignoring, so it might be smart to start looking the part.
Given the level of anxiety in the air, it wouldn’t be surprising if former big spenders have lost their appetite for Michelin-starred meals, which can run into the thousands. With a bit more effort, however, and an open mind, foodies can still eat like kings, and in the process get a little healthier by forgoing fancy restaurants for a local farmers market. Cheaper than organic grocers like Whole Foods, farmers markets cut out the middlemen while offering fresher produce. If you have a hard time swallowing the idea of preparing your own food, consider the example of Jamie Oliver, who has advocated this kind of DIY high-style approach for years—and made millions off it. The telegenic British chef has not only expanded his chain of Italian restaurants but has also taken to promoting wholesome, back-to-basics eating through a national chain of food centers that offer lessons in cooking and nutrition.
Once the simple high life becomes routine, the newly restrained rich might find that they don’t miss the high-maintenance demands of their old lifestyles, the per -

Girls What Is Your Dream Purse?
Posted on August 17th, 2009 9 commentsI LOVE handbags! I collect handbags the way some people collect stamps!
I have a collection that ranges from Louis vuitton, to Dior ‘lady’, and an inherited Hermes Birkin.
Right now I have my eyes set on a Chanel Cambon Tote, black with black cc’s
I recently got a Jimmy Choo, and after I get my Chanel I want a Chloe Paddington..
My question to you, is what is your DREAM purse? If you could rate the top ten what would they be?
I just would like to know..and you can put Coach and Dooney..my first ‘designer’ purse ever was a Dooney and Bourke saddle bag I bought myself with saved Christmas and birthday money when I was 10! This was before all the fancy designs they have now, too!
and from there I went to Coach (worked there for a few years) and have since graduated to what I have now… -

Where Can You Buy The Really Expensive Clothes?
Posted on August 17th, 2009 6 commentsNot that I can afford them (I’m 16). I was just wondering where does someone purchase clothes by top of the line designers such as Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Burberry, and the like?
One would think, “Fancy places like Neiman Marcus, duh.” But the truth is those places focus on offering “ready to wear” (or actual clothes as opposed to accessories) for women, and mainly focus on things such as scarves, shoes, and ties from the higher fashion brands.
And the stores of the brands such as Burberry for example, usually carry a VERY limited selection of merchandise, usually including women’s handbags, scarves, and the occasional dress.
So, it makes me wonder, where do rich people get there Hermes coats and Dior dresses? Because anybody can stumble into Saks and buy some Gucci jeans and a John Varvatos shirt.
Also, what about custom fitting items? How are those acquired?
Just a question that I can’t seem to find an answer for! Thanks! -
