the best uniform I have seen yet was in Canterbury, UK maybe the
choir school long robes! I know my mother took a scissors to our
delightful green convent gymslips when the last of her 3 daughters
graduated as she was sick of the look of them after 7 years!

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.

Philips Exeter to meet with Buffy and Bif.

this video:

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.
