Paris designer Jacques Esterel unveiled a 1972 Fall-Winter show proposing simple geometric pieces that sew into mini dresses or convert to trousers and jackets. He mocked mass produced garments and urged women to sew at home noting high fashion can be DIY with basics like squares triangles and rectangles.
In Rome, Italian designers push a conservative winter look centered on the little black dress and tailored suits. Fox fur dominates, with blacks and neutrals like gray and beige, while pantsuits remain strong and dolman sleeves fade from Valentino's collection.
The article describes Jacquerie, a lightweight acrylic fabric that resembles wool and suits outerwear and sportswear. It is machine washable and available in various jacquard patterns and colors.
The piece notes teen wearers and sun worshippers on Saint Tropez beaches embrace bikini chain belts. It describes slim plain chains with charm clusters like hearts seashells or a monogram disc as a natural accessory for trim figures.
The piece touts navy blue lens sunglasses paired with tortoise frames and silver nose-bridges. Available in aviator, round, oval, and square shapes, they mix brown or coordinated deep blue lenses with contemporary metal accents for sunny days.
Paris designer Louis Feraud favors bright colors and whimsy in winter prints by Per Spook, with turquoise and fuchsia, electric blue and green, plus bold black and white stripes. Outfits include sheer black dresses, garish foliage jerseys, vinyl for outdoors, and eye catching accessories like a black fox boa.
