Jeans will continue to be in style during the ‘90s

AS FALL approaches and brings
with it the close of a decade of
nostalgia, the jeanswear market is
meving forward with the ’%s in
mind.

Timelessness in styles will be the
new approach to basic jeanswear.

Comfort. and simplicity are key
words this fall as basics continue

to attract attention. Following are
a few of the upcoming directions
in jeanswear fashions...

‘Jeans Cult’ describes a look
that features denim in classic in-
digo or black colors with a variety
of stonewash finishes. A return to
softer, hairy denims is key. Sil-
houettes alternate between a slim-

mer and wider leg. The look is
topped off with classic chambray
and stonewashed denim skirts as
well as jackets and simply-styled
T-shirts and sweats.

‘Modern °60s’ — the ’60s look
updated. Black and blue jeans
featuring a slim leg are the trade-
mark, making stretch denim an
important item. The overall effect

Graduates seek management jobs

_From page 22

“The program has advisers and
part-time: teachers who are active
in the business in addition to full-

: time staff.

> In. addition to classroom time,
students put ‘on a fashion show at
the end. of the first year, operate a
store called Cap Corner on campus
and have rpracticums.

the contacts which lead to jobs
after graduation, she said.

Students graduating from the
program are trained for careers in
management, small business own-
ership, promotion, and manufac-
turer’s representation.

A third of the program deals
with retail fashion. ‘‘Most of them

management,’’

Ciark said,
estimating 80 per cent of graduates
follow that route.

However, students are not
restricted to the fashion trade;
many leave it altogether while
others go into spin-off fields, such
as advertising, interior design and
public relations.

John Miniaci, a 1987 graduate,
managed Pegabo in Park Royal

_ for. two years before becoming a

visual merchandiser with Harry
Rosen Men's Wear. :
He does the window displays at

' the stores in Oakridge and Pacific

Centre, as well as being responsible
for the stores’ interior design.

Miniaci said he wanted to get off
the store floor and go behind the
scene. His visual display
background at Capilano College
helped him get the job with Harry
Rosen, he said.

Miniaci also said the new focus
on retail merchandising was ap-
propriate, given the changes in the
industry. .

Bragg was on the board of

. directors of the course for 1984

and 1985 and said the program’s
shift away from design to business
is timely.

“Merchandising is more than
just putting stock on the: floor,’’
she said. ‘‘It’s advertising, visual
presentation, marketing.’”

Bragg said the new curriculum
Bives the student a “‘kit bag’’ to get
into the industry.

‘She added that if the program
background is combined with

part-time retail experience during
the course, graduates will be well
prepared for the industry.
