Why does no one recognize my clothing Labels?

Hey Guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a couple of problems. When I inherited money from my father I invested heavily in some name brand clothing in order to further my image and maintain a sense of professionalism that I had lost in the office since my early days in I Banking. I wear only Zegna, Ferragamo, Armani, and sometimes Brooks Brothers on casual day's. I have a Patek Phillippe watch and no one seems to notice. How do I let people know that I place a small portion of my earnings on superior clothing. It seems the last person I interviewed with didn't even see my brand names or recognize the tags. I still got the job but need some help? Any suggestions welcomed

Because you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Or, as Obama would say, because no matter how much lipstick you put on a pig . . .

 

get some poor person (lots around nowadays for some reason...) and pay him/her to stand around somewhere near the "target", and have them exclaim various comments about your attire, like "OMG! i've wanted those Armani shoes for EVER!", while flailing their arms around for emphasis and attention. then you should act all humble and stuff and say something along the lines of "it was a gift from my previous boss"

"... then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
