Urbanity - Summer 2008 - (Page 42) The Wearing 42 We like the new looks for summer, well most of them. The full skirts in paint prints, floral prints, and dresses, dresses, dresses; minis, maxis, and teas in everything from mixed fabrics and designs to solidly white; some tailored some femininely fru frued, and colors; pale and subdued to passionately purple were all over the runways. Skirts especially, with their singular facility to elevate, without blandishments—the leg, are again taking center stage in fashion. The truly liberated have discarded panty hose (yea), and opted instead to show off those beautiful gams. A consequence, whether incidental or deliberate, is enjoying the swish and feel of the fabric. For myself, why else bother. Sheer blouses are all over the place. The wearing of sheers effectively is a challenge, and there’s more than a bit of trial and error involved. The fabric mix has to be near genius, or it fails miserably, but when it works it shines. Ruling the runway is Versace® (light neutrals), but Gucci®, Prada® (wicked bold), Kors®, La Perla®, and Dolce & Gabbana® with their very deft penchant for romance, have so got game. Marc Jacobs® went a bit dark, which is fine—it’s just that the summer light tradition breaks hard, but everyone had something yummy on the runway. Summer Togs urbanity Summer 2008
