VANCOUVER'S fashionable
Robson Street is dressed up for a
special event today.

For the whole day, the street will
host and be the site of the largest
outdoor fashion extravaganza ever
held in the city —— the Second An-
nual Robson Street Fashion Festi-
val.

The Robsonstrasse of old has
been transformed into Vancouver's
most fashionable street and is a
people place with its own unique
style.

The festival will feature three
fashion shows to be held
throughout the afternoon at 12:30

Accessories
important

From page 20

Trims made of real and faux
furs, contrast piping and any kind
of decoration, such as ribbons,
bows, buttons or fringe, add the
finishing touches to an updated
look for fali '88.

« Handbags — Whether your
hemline is short or long, there’s a
handbag designed for you.

Small, structured bags in can-
teen and binocular shapes fare best
with shorter hemlines, while carpet
and tapestry bags, satchels and
shoulderbags, call for long, pleated
skirts or trousers.

A splash of color will be seen in
jewel tone suedes and leathers,
along with beads, tassels, fringe
and piping as decorative touches.

° Jewelry ~— Pins will be hot, as
will anything with movement, such
as long drops, hoops and dangling
earrings.

Color and opulence return, with
faceted glass stones in rich, jewel
colorations of emerald, topaz,
ruby and amethyst.

Pearls are making a strong com-
eback as a classic look, along with
chains worn in multiples.

* Belts — Wide belts take on
added importance, and pant belts
gain momentum, as women turn to
trousers with belt loops of one to
two inches.

There will be more color than
ever before, and more detailing,
using jeweled and ornate metal
buckles. Smooth and antique
leathers will enhance any fall out-
fit.
