Purple Haze

In a tradition dating back to Ancient Rome and before, the colour purple has always signified royalty and prosperity, the original reason being that it was a rare and thus expensive dye. However, these days purple has largely lost its significance due to its relative abundance - any old joe can go out and get himself a bright purple sweatshirt, despite the slightly disgusted looks he may receive while wearing it.

In order to reinstate purple as the colour of choice for rich and powerful people, I propose a chest-sized balloon, made out of an incredibly thin transparent plastic, which would be draped over one's shirt in place of a tie (with clips at the top to prevent slippage). The balloon would be filled with a purple mist, perhaps consisting of coloured water droplets or somesuch high-tech substance. The end result is a beautiful piece of pure elegance, which would be so expensive and fragile that only the richest and most influential people can wear it.
