Philips doesn't have a uniform. The kids seem to dress like they've
just walked out of central casting.

I was referring to the Brand - not to the style. When I went to
school (a long long time ago), brands weren't allowed - and the only
logos students could wear was the school one. No doubt the uniform
is required.

Being that my offices are a stones throw away from Philips Andover
(where G. Bush Sr., Jeb Bush, and G. W. Bush Jr. all went to school)
and I drive through the campus every day, I can say they do wear
exactly this wardrobe.
I'm going to bet that the kids aren't necessarily the buyers in this
relationship. There's an entire network of supply chain to get to
them.
However, without talking with the marketing manager, it would be
hard to decide what the biz goals for the site are.

You are partially right - to Ralph Lifschitz chagrin - prep school
kids don't wear ralph lauren - their target market is very very
different from the bif and buffy folks you see on that showcase site.
That said - I want to know what the goals are for the site. Knowing
their target audience, i very much doubt they are surfing from the
high school dorm room from their macbook up in exeter nh.
