………………..For my 1993 Fall collection I liked to mix different fabrics in one outfit……Different fabrics in one outfit wasn’t a new concept….but…it’s the particular different fabrics, and how they are used that adds the newness………The shaped four button jacket was in wool Barathea….but it was the SHEER WOOL GAUZE swing skirt that added the unexpected drama….Sheer played an important part in the fall collect of 1993……Sheer has to be done right for it to be accepted, especially when it’s for day wear otherwise it’s considered for the runway only……These pieces were well accepted due to their versatility. They could easily be worn day or night with a casual sweater or a beaded top…….Today, 30 years later, mixing fabrics has become commonplace………It takes fabulous new fabrics, and a wonderful imagination to make it fresh!
