Being a celebrity means many things. First, you get a lot of attention. There are those who want it, those who don’t and of course, those who say they don’t but really do and will do anything to get it. Yes, that one is for you John Mayer. Second, you make boatloads of money. Some celebrities make more than others, but as a group they are among the highest paid people in the world. So, what do you do with all that money and all that attention? You flaunt it, of course!

There is a plethora of things celebrities like to throw their money at; luxury homes, vehicles, expensive trips, yachts, boats, even private jets. Each celebrity has their own personal “vice” that they love indulging in. But the one thing that seems to transcend to every celebrity is the love of jewelry and accessories.

Handbags have always been popular among the ladies of tinsel town, but over the last couple years their popularity has skyrocketed. You will see the same celebrity with a different handbag or purse every day of the week. From Gucci to Burberry to Louis Vuitton the ladies must have the latest and greatest in fashion over their shoulder at all times.

The newest accessory that is sweeping Hollywood is dogs. That’s right, no need to rub your eyes, dogs. This trend started only a year or so ago. High profile celebrities began bringing their precious little puppies with them everywhere; department stores, coffee shops even into 5 Star Restaurants. It seems as if no place is off limits. You can catch stars like Blake Lively, Paris Hilton and Leighton Meester carrying their dogs everywhere. It has gone as far as designer clothes, designer food bowls and designer carrying cases for these four-legged friends. Can this get any trendier in 2009, or will it simply disappear?

The last accessory that both men and women fall for is jewelry. This has always been high on the Hollywood Celebrity list and the trend isn’t going away anytime soon. From gaudy wedding ring sets, to beautiful sterling silver necklaces and sterling silver earrings today’s celebrities wear it, and they make it look good. Even trends like tennis bracelets, anklets and the Tiffany’s Mesh Collection have been worn by celebrities over the last year. You will see stars like Beyonce, Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson wearing the hottest and newest celebrity jewelry trends.

So, no matter what accessory celebrities like to drop big money on, they will spend it and spend it in style.

I look a lot like “Andy Bernard” from the Office TV show (I don’t want his style though- I just look like him! . The style I am going for is sort of an urban-look. Not hip-hop but I want to be able to walk through the Bronx or Brooklyn and not look nerdy. I’m 34 yrs old, 6’1, 180. Also, can you recommend a famous person’s style I could sort of emulate? Thank you!

Economic downturn or not, the men’s fashion accessories market is grossly under supplied and below par.

Fashion houses and high street stores are trimming back on variety to turn the economic tide, but not without risk, less choice and variety may deliver better dividends, but the demand for difference still grows. And it is growing toward the independent online and high street stores.

They have positioned themselves and building on customer loyalty. Small enough to cater for real time demand and offering a level of service. Department stores are increasingly  ill equipped to provide the same.

Staff loyalty and commitment is as important as customer loyalty. Look after your staff and they will look after your customers repeatedly. However the retail industry relies heavily on part time casuals whose commitments lie elsewhere in studies or affording lifestyle.

Plus wages in this industry are comparatively low, providing little incentive.

Meanwhile the generic flavour of menswear stagnates.

The quality suffers as often as designer brands are swallowed up by corporate entities and manufacturing licences are un-policed.

More damage is being done to brand names by the volume of counterfeit products available online, just spend a little more time researching to determine authenticity and, then you are assured of getting full value.

Vivienne Westwood keeps a very tight rein on authorising online and traditional retailers. Its like all commodities, if the market is flooded the value will decrease.

At 60 something Westwood is at her creative peak. She is catering to demand from men who seek to differ.

Customer loyalty and staff loyalty is achieved in line with constant observation of consumer demands.

The true value lies in the product and, laid out include, silk ties, cufflinks, scarves, belts, wallets, lapel badges, pendants, pocket squares and bracelets, plus for the younger and more daring, ear decoration, rings and bracelets.

In all, independents have not missed the plot like some larger department stores. They remain in constant contact with customers and deliver in accordance with demand, without sacrificing variety, choice and quality.

When you don’t have to report to a board of directors or navigate your way through a labyrinth of middle management you are able to focus on the more important issues like design, sourcing, manufacture and supply.

In spite of the inevitable global control that large retailers will command, there’s always going to be a sizable niche that can only be filled by dedicated independents such as patrick mcmurray.com.

We don’t have to provide a lot of references to back up our argument. The evidence is easy enough to find. Just go on line and see how hard it is to find authentic, current collections by well known brands. Then go traipsing around the malls and street shops and you will get an indication of the generic nature of men’s fashion clothing.

Now this is where we make a recommendation before concluding with an interesting anecdote. Have a look at these designer ties. Remembering they are not all the same, one size fits all the better ones are engineered for countless good knottage.

A little History.

The legendary celebrity tailor Douglas (The Italian Job) Hayward dies. A new Archive Room at No 1 Savile Row is curated by James Sherwood and inaugurated in honour of the late Robert Gieve. In March 2008 The London Cut exhibition is invited to show at the British Ambassador’s Residence in Tokyo. A satellite exhibition then travels to Isetan where Savile Row dominates the prestigious store’s windows and exhibition space. A three one-hour documentary mapping a year in the life of Savile Row is aired on BBC4 while BBC2 follow The London Cut to Tokyo for a further British fashion series to be aired in autumn.

The economic downturn is no excuse to undersupply a demanding market.
