Alan Flusser, author of several indispensable guides to menswear and creator of Michael Douglas' power look for the film "Wall Street," is offering a special holiday gift package. In conjunction with the luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report (which belittles Mr. Flusser by referring to him as a "fashion guru"), lucky recipients will receive a wardrobe analysis by Mr. Flusser in his New York shop. You and Mr. Flusser will then board a Gulfstream II for a tour of British and Italian textile mills, where you'll choose the fabrics for your new wardrobe: 10 suits, 10 sportcoats, 36 shirts, 10 trousers, three dinner jackets and three topcoats. While in Europe, Mr. Flusser will also help you procure dressing gowns in Venice, shooting clothes in Vienna, and pajamas in Como. And lest your wardrobe be incomplete, the package also includes 50 neckties, three leather jackets, two hats, a dozen shoes, and various other accessories. In Paris you'll meet an engraver and commission your custom blazer buttons. And upon returning home, should you find yourself befuddled by your newfound bounty of sartorial choices, Mr. Flusser can design and direct the installation of a computerized dressing closet — sort of a cross between Jeeves the butler and Hal from "2001." Prices start at $1 million — perhaps we should call him Mr. Fleecer?
