“RACING STRIPES”

………………..Stripes as a detail became an important theme on the Spring 1991 collection…..The wool crepe suit at the left on Christy was perfectly cut and perfectly executed. The jacket had hidden very flat buttons which buttoned the opposite way they normally do….They buttoned towards the body so the front was completely flat. The back of the jacket was exactly like the front with the Black racing stripe down the center back and the red banding continued from the front. This became Sak’s 5th Ave’s Spring Ad in their National Campaign and Vogue Magazine…….The fashion director LOVED this suit and bought it for herself…..The Lipstick Red short jacket at the right, with the cut away bottom, was very simple….and the hardest jackets to create. It closely followed the shape of the body, and had a gold ball zipper pull that my jewelry company made…….The crepe pant, had a front zip and a side racing stripe. The pant could also be worn with the jacket to the left, and many other things on the Spring collection. These were bold clothes, and for women who wanted to make a strong statement.
