are imported from Jamaica, Japan
and Africa or the fabrics are
found in Vancouver in colorful or
graphic prints.

The French-Canadian has been
designing under her current label
for four years and before that she
was a costume designer for the
stage.

Vachon was trained in fashion
design in Vancouver, and in
sculpture and professional dance
in Quebec City.

The I&I D.U.O. line consists of
hais, dresses, tunics, blouses,
along with full, dropped-crotch
pants and vests which have clean
lines for easy layering.

For fall, Vachon’s designs are
sophisticated and wearable in
pleated front dresses with ccor-

dinating long, unstructured
jackets, trim tunic dresses, and
wide pants — all with creative
hats to match.

APRIL PETERS

Peters takes inspiration from
Gothic and Renaissance eras for
her designs which are cut into
romantic shapes in luxurious
fabrics.

Peters’ design talent ranges
from wonderful, found-object
jewelry and whimsical hats all the
way to frock coats and evening
dresses,

Peters’ eclectic art gallery/
clothing boutique for men and
women is an old house located at

Dressing is a matter
of personal style

THE WARDROBE of the woman
of the 1990s has less to do with a
strict sense of fashion and more to
do with personal style.

Her clothes must stand out, be
iuxurious yet economical, be du-
table beyond the season and,
above all, depart from what she
already owns.

Believe it or not, this seemingly
tall order with the makings of a
riddle can be filled very simply.

The missing piece in the puzzle
is anything irrevocably special:
those items which by virtue of
their originality become irresistible
to the eye.

Themes, inspiration: To say
that the thematic structure of fall
is varied seems an understatement.
The range includes the return of
the lady, or post-war looks circa
1947; the 1960s and 1970s — mod
patterns, vinyl pieces, patent
leather, link belts and = short
shorts; military and country dress-
ing that lends an understated ele-
gance to the ‘‘anything goes”
mood; fine art-inspired motifs
that remind us of Matisse.

Sihouettes: Most designers are
offering such a complete range of
contours as to nearly cover an en-
tire century of fashion — ours.

More subdued shoulders, the
layering or insulating coordinates,

and all possi+le combinations of
the fitted and lvose are in vogue.

engths, althcugh preferably on
the shorn side, can reach the knee
or even the ankle, if you prefer.

An important shape this season
places a long jacket over a sliver
of a skirt or a dress.

Color palette: Fall is tradi-
tionally a season of splendid col-
or, although a few surprises await:
black and white in combinations
or as single statements have
Tegained a seemingly lost rele-
vance. Beiges, taupés and nature-
inspired hues (appropriately nam- .
ed organic earth, henna, amber,
persimmon, olive green, fog, and
aqualight) echo the dramatic
metamorphosis of this season.

Fabrics, fabrications: Warm
fibres and woolens such as
cashmere, alpaca, angora, mohair,
and jacquard fleece head a long
list of natural fibres and blends
primarily meant to provide com-
fort.

The knits (sueded silk crepe,
silk gabardine, double georgette)
are luxurious. A special lushness is
provided by the chenilles and
velours.

Lastly, and getting back to the
basics, corduroys and denims in a
multitude of colors round out the
picture for fall.
