Fashion Week Notebook | Duckie Brown
September 22nd, 2005
Key Takeaways: Classic sportswear pieces in mainly solid colors. Patterns added for visual interest included dots, plaids, and stripes.
Color Palette: Red, peach, blue, coral, turquoise and green added eye-catching color to a base of black, white, grey, and beige.
Silhouettes: Mainly fitted shapes and layered looks. Some pieces (like a cardigan) were purposely oversized.
Accessories Report: Knit caps, sport sneakers, and the Man Tote.
What’s Wearable: Most of the collection was comprised of wearable looks. In particular, we liked the ¾ length coats, jackets with slightly shrunken arms, tuxedo shirts, and the pants creased just so.
What’s Not Wearable: Vinyl clothing. It may be functional if it’s raining, but even then, just get an umbrella. Also, the man tote looked awfully feminine.
