FASHION: 27 September

Gucci and the 1960’s
Gucci delved into the vintage trunk and came out with 1960s silver and white A-line shifts and black, purple and orange mini-dresses cinched with broad belts for its spring/summer 2007 collection.  Rather than reference the 80s like most designers did this season, Gucci’s new face–Frida Giannini–decided to go back to the glamour and luxury of the 60’s…a decision that will surely give Gucci and its loyal fans a breath of fresh air.  

Roberto Cavalli Show Stormed byPETA Protesters
Today during Cavalli’s sports-themed show for his Just Cavalli label, anti-fur protesters from PETA stormed in during the middle of the show and held banners that read “Cavalli=Cruel”.  “Sadly there are always people who disturb those who work, what can I do? I could impose stricter security controls but I don’t think that’ll make a difference,” Cavalli told reporters afterwards, adding that he loved animals.

What Every Guy Should Own this Fall
The cardigan is as cool as ever, and when worn in muted Fall colours with solid, neutral button-ups, it is a guaranteed to add total chicness to your ensemble.  Wear it with a pair of black slacks, a crisp white shirt, and a patterned tie (colours in the tie accenting the colour(s) of the sweater). Unless your collar is a button-down, keep the collar on the outside of the sweater.  When wearing a tie with your cardigan, be sure the sweater’s “V” neck is cut a little shorter, so as to allow more of the tie to be seen.
