ik kwam wel dit tegen:
Purple Reign by Cal Fussman | Oct 01 '97 THE OLD ADAGE has been proven time and again: When the stock market goes up, skirts go up. But let's not forget what a bull market does for men's fashion. It unleashes the color purple. Look around and see for yourself. Once the market pushed through seven thousand, we started to notice lavender shirts, mauve pocket squares, and lilac ties. And as long as Alan Greenspan stays on the job, there's no telling where the color will surface. The color purple has been associated with exclusivity ever since the tenth century B.C., when the natural dye that creates it was discovered by the Tyrians in the secretions of a rare shellfish and was later reserved for royalty. "To wear the purple" came to mean to be of noble blood. "Promotion to the purple" signifies a promotion to the rank of cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. And to this day, the coronation robes of the British royal family are of deep-purple velvet. Surely, this must have been in the mind of designer Ralph Lauren two years ago when he put out his premier line of suits under the Ralph Lauren Purple Label. The invention of aniline dyes last century made the color more widely available, and everyone went wild over magenta, plum, and orchid. Soon, though, there was a backlash, and purple came to be associated with pretentiousness and vulgarity. And it's just that lingering feeling that has kept men at a wary distance ever since, despite how good purple looks under a gray suit. "Let's not forget, there are shades of purple that verge on pink," says the writer and television commentator Frank Deford. "A man has to be very secure to wear purple." Deford, who owns a purple cummerbund, is just such a man. For years, he's worn a dash of purple almost every day. His wardrobe boasts purple shoes, purple socks, purple ties, purple suspenders, and even a purple overcoat that he bought for a remarkably low price in go degree heat at a warehouse in Naples from the sort of salesman who doesn't accept credit cards or offer receipts. "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't stop now," Deford says. "People are kind of disappointed when I'm not wearing purple. But don't get the wrong impression. I won't buy a $1,500 jacket just because it's purple. You have to draw the line somewhere." Deford is not alone in his passion. Turnbull & Asser has been making splendid shirts in that color for decades. Northwestern's "Purple Pride" sweatshirt sales may have quadrupled ever since the '96 trip to the Rose Bowl. But fans there wore their purple proudly even during the longest losing streak in college-football history, when the Wildcats were known as the Mildcats. No matter how the economy booms, no matter how high the stock market shoots, there's one type of man who'll never be seen in purple: the politician. He'll wear an inoffensive gray, surely. A power blue, of course. But a brash purple? Never! "The day you see a politician wearing purple," Deford says, "is the day we have a truthful person in politics. http://www.keepmedia.com/Register.do?oliID=225
