ACTION: Fashion Just Plain Wong SCARVES: WONG WONG “Hump and Run.” “Penetrate.” No, we’re not talking about random mating here. Rather, these are soccer-related phrases emblazoned on Wong Wong’s footie scarves. (The former expression means making a long pass, and the la er refers to driving through the opposing team’s defense.) Appropriate for both cold weather and boring cocktail parties, the scarves are made of ﬁne cashmere and reference the colors of the six major European teams — so from a distance they appear to be elegant versions of the teams’ oﬃcial scarves. The ﬁrst footie scarf line was released in 2007, and the second is slated for 2009. Whatever your team, this is pitch-perfect apparel. — JENNIFER WRIGHT ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Gender is So Last Year COLLECTION: INGAR HUSBAND Frustrated with frills? Retching at ruﬄes? Banish the froufrou with Ingar Husband’s new androgynous clothing line. Says Tennessee Hamilton, the line’s founder, “It’s not that we’re opposed to sex, but a lot of women are sick of being pigeonholed into archaic boxes of gender roles.” As a result, while the line’s clothing has occasional feminine ﬂair, many pieces have a more masculine, tailored style. The oversized cuts can accommodate both men’s and women’s bodies, thus pu ing an end to girls stealing their guy’s roomy sweaters. So, while the ba le of the sexes may not have ended, Ingar Husband has created a chic and comfortable detante. — JW HEARD HA YOU VE . . .

The Chilean-born designer’s latest collection draws inspiration from some of her favorite pieces from the past decade, which she has reworked into 10 featured dresses.
