Death of the necktie?

"The brute covers himself, the rich man and the fop adorn themselves, the elegant man dresses!"

Alex was a client, and I know his father well. His father is one of the best appellate attorneys in New York.

Alex Olch has carved-out a nice tie business. He has sold to Bergdorf, and I think that he will be selling in Saks.

Just an interesting story: Yesterday I visited one of NYC's best known high-end fashion stores. My friend in the shoe department told me that that that manager for shirts, ties, and accessories does not wear a tie! I find it very strange that a retailer would not wear a tie since his store has a very big and profitable tie department.

The wearing of a necktie in this day in age is just like wearing cuff links.

The few, the proud, and the brave.

Gosh, Cufflink, if that is right - everyone I know in town must be just extraordinary then - because they all wear ties and cufflinks.
