EXOTIC SKINS

festern boots co:

EXOTIC SKINS, the rage for all
featner accessories this fall, are
especially prominent in Western
boots, as they add the texture
needed to dress the leg properly for
the season’s newest fashions.
Ostrich, alligator, lizard and
particularly snake and elephant are
extremely hot looks in boots. On
boot upper, colorful stitching and
leather inlays strengthen the foot’s

fashion statement.

As fall’s shorter skirts create ex-
citement for the attention they
draw to the leg, Western boots are
a natural complement to the new
leggy look.

The season’s call for rich tex-
tures, detailed designs and choice
in heel height is answered by
classic cowboy boots.

Color is bold, as bright red is a

top choice in Western boots for
men and women, and the muted
desert colors and romantic pastels
of the Sante Fe look continue to be
strong as well.

Men’s wear colors also feature
cordovan and taupe, with black
making a vigorous showing.

For women, besides short skirts,
long hems to the lower calf are the
only other option this season, and

THE MAJOR looks for the Holiday ’87 collection emphasize the feminine form to its best advantage. Sexy,
sophisticated evening gowns in dramatic shapes and silhouettes require jewelry with the same sizzling visual

impact. Left, Sabina Afllemann, first soloist with the National Ballet of Canada,

wears 14kt. yellow and

white gold earrings by Beni Sung and a id4kt. gold neckpiece and matching bracelet from Birks. Karyn
Tessmer, also a first soloist, is wearing 14kt gold ‘‘point d’esprit’’ mesh earrings and matching bow pin
with a 14kt gold and onyx ring from Birks and a gold and diamond bracelet from Neptune Jewellery. Even-

ing gowns are from Mariola Mayer.

jement leggy

Western boots come in a variety of
heel and shaft heights to match
cither style.

For shorter hemlines, the boot’s
silhouette is very defined with
either very high or low shafts.
Heels are higher and more
substantial, elongating the leg
look.

Longer dress lengths, an impor-
tant fashion look for business at-
tire, are well suited to lower heels,
for both slim and full pleated

skirts. Toe shapes are moderate
and gently rounded.

For men, trouser legs are show-
ing a slimmer, pegged styling for
the lower leg.
