………………….If I had to choose ONE COLOR to design in it would absolutely be…..BLACK!……..Custom GOLD NUGGET HAMMERED BUTTONS, and GOLD ZIPPERS became a strong theme on this Fall collection. I used these nugget buttons and zippers on the solid black clothes as seen here….also on bright colors and tweeds and checks that were also part of the collection…..Yasmeen and Christy, at the extreme left are wearing two different jackets, but both are double breasted and have the zipper and nugget buttons. The zipper created a double closing and kept the jacket openings neat….It was my EXCLAMATION MARK!…..The wool crepe suits are worn with a pleated skirt and a pencil skirt……Nadege and Elaine at the top center are wearing the same jacket except Nadege’s is in leather and Elaine’s is in wool crepe….They both have the “FANNY ZIPPERS”….Point of Interest…..Elizabeth Taylor wore the leather jacket on the Johnny Carson Show, and looked fabulous!…..Elaine is wearing a collarless A-Line DB coat in a cashmere wool blend, and at the right…..Nadege is wearing a wool, DB crepe dress with the same button and zipper detail…………..ANY OF THESE would still look great today on anyone!
