From The Apprentice to the Catwalk

Real estate developer Marty Kotis, who made a well-publicized but unsuccessful attempt to win a spot on NBC's The Apprentice, emerges as a fashion pundit in today's Wall Street Journal.

Kotis, on the vicissitudes of sartorial elegance, in "The Two Button Suit Returns," page D4:

"Whenever something gains widespread acceptance the fashion industry has to get rid of it," said William Kotis III, a a Greensboro, N.C.-based real estate developer. Just a few months back, despite suggestions by sales clerks he look at two-buttons, Mr. Kotis doubled down on his bet and bought three three-buttons during a trip to New York. Two buttons "should stay in the closet," he says.
