FASHION
Colors inspired by flora and fauna

AT A recent European sport fash-
ion show in Munich, there were a
number of different trends,
themes, colors and details
throughout the collections, but the
two trends that dominated the
whole show were the importance
of the environmenv.and the fun of

Pop art, —

The nature and ecology trend of
the new decade seems to be more
than a fad.

The conspicuous and osten-
tatious looks of the past decade
have taken a back seat to the pure
and practical.

The color buzzword is no longer
neon. Color is now inspired by
flora and fauna.

The inspiration can come from
the tropics to the great North

_ American outdoors. The tropics
influence batik prints using a

whole series of ethnic and ecology
mixtures on multi-purpose aerobic
and active wear.

The trend for worn or
weathered fabrics and colors is a
key for the outdoor fashions.

Certain designers are creating a
new connection between leisure
and the environment by using a
more humorous approach. En-
vironmental cartoons were
displayed on tennis wear and walk
wear.

Pop Art from the '60s and ‘70s
are bold and beautiful on lycra
aerobic wear, and 20th century ar-
tists inspire print design on
everything from tennis wear and
multi-sport.

Geometric and patched prints in
typical Pucci or *60s colors were
used in big repeats for logo block-
ing. After Pucci, the newest big
influence coming up is from Sonia

Delaunay and lesser-known pop
artists.

Loeffler, Triumph and Repetto
used these print ideas beautifully
on aerobic wear.

Filigree effects feature fine art
by using computer graphics to
create small-scale mosaics, kalei-
doscopes, engravings and pop art
done on acrobic wear, tennis wear
and active wear.

Picasso, Rauschenberg and
Cocteau are the new sport all-
stars for some print inspiration.

Lithos, woodcuts and collages,
the playthings,of some major 20th
century artists add cultural impact
to simpie, functional items such as
swimwear and running wear.

Summer ’92 will see sports fash-
ions communing with nature and
art — and ali will be comfortable,
casual and fun.

Know the shape of your face before choosing

From page 14

with little definition in the jawline
or cheekbones. Squared frames,
geometrics, slender oblongs or
aviator frames will elongate this
face shape.

A frame which creates an ob-
vious ‘line such as a horizontal
straight bar will break the circle-in
half. If you like the look, em-
phasize it with round frames.
Heart-shaped face

On a heart-shaped face, the
widest area is the forehead, nar-
rowing down to a slightly pointed
chin. A frame with a horizontal

top bar and rounded lenses or
slightly triangular shaped frames
will help balance the shape.

Since the heart-shaped face is
very becoming, consider em-
phasizing it. Do so with bow-
shaped sunglasses which are
smaller and contoured in the cen-
tre near the bridge with both top
and bottom edges fanning out-
ward.

Oblong face

Oblong faces are longer with a
high forehead and a_ slightly
squared chin. This shape looks
best with a wide, larger frame
which cuts the length of the face

and adds more width with the
frame’s horizontal lines.

Choose a frame which extends
past the temples. A square frame
or a frame which has a thick hor-
izontal top bar and straight
shaped lenses is also a good
choice.

Oval face

An oval face is said to be well
proportioned and can wear any
style of sunglasses. However, if
you have a small oval face, avoid
dramatic square or diamond-
shaped frames which tend to be
overpowering.
