“PONGEE & BLACK”

………………………..For me each collection has a YIN and a YANG…….The very Geometric, Bold Color Block and Solid group of Red, Ivory, Black, Green, and Hot Pink was the Yin…..The ultra chic Pongee and Black was the Yang………..The second grouping for Spring 1991 was a selection of Pongee, Black and Ivory clothes in luxe fabrics…..Silk, Wool, Rayon Cady, Linens, Lace and Gazar…..Plaids, Checks and Graphic prints like the jacket and skirt in the SUNFLOWER print above, inspired by Van Gogh, were sophisticated and chic….The silhouettes above were simple, and were not meant to compete with the print. The Silk Cady jacketĀ  was elongated with a jewel neckline, and a cut away bottom to accommodate the sarong skirt beneath………..The warmth of the Pongee, a pale beige, combined with black is classic, and an Iconic combination of colors used during the Art Deco period.
