shop, Balenciaga, is another example of

new fall fashions, with bulky tweek jackets of different tex-
tures and design, and lots of sweaters for a soft, chic look.

sweaters, blouses and even
belts.

The other is evening wear,
and this fall, designers have
turned to the sophisticated
dazzling (at least in the case
of those we saw).

The best examples are the
basics, such as the sparkling
black dinner jacket we fell in
love with at Balenciaga’s,
delicately lined inside and
draped with sequins. The
price was just over 500,000
lire (about $380 Canadian at
the time), not bad for a
designer garment.

Ruffles are also big, as in
the case of the soft, bluepur-

ple dresses we found at
Ungaro’s. One clerk told us
ruffles were included this
year to create ‘a simple
elegance’, though some

designers were using them
more than others.

My favorites were the more
subdued, ‘ruffle-less’ crea-
tions; the plain black or white
dresses cut down the back
with a row of buttons, spiced
up with the splash of a pink
or blue waist belt.

Dressing for fall depends
on how much of a statement
you want to make — the
ltalians are ready for virtual-
ly everything.
