What is and who are behind the Accessories Council?
The mission of the Accessories Council is to stimulate the awareness and demand of accessories (which you, dear reader, are very well acquainted with, I’m sure). It is in fact, a $30 billion industry in the U.S.!
The council has honored several celebrities for their contributions to this mission; honorees have included Lady Gaga and Chloe Sevigny.
From Jane M:
Dinner from the local pizzeria and the current chick flick – how typical and boring.
Women want something romantic, exciting and out of the ordinary, this is too predictable and not creative.
