CATALOGUE SHOPPING
in the ’90s has become a
modern, sophisticated way
for women to shop.

By Carol Crenna
Contributing Writer

What used to be an alternative
for women preferring not to travel
to the store, is now a practical
solution for busy, successful indi-
viduals with no time to shop in
person.

A case in point is Wear Else’s
new Something Else? designer
catalogue.

The second issue, released for

spring 93, offers the latest looks
from leading Canadian, American
and German designers. Anne
Klein, Jones New York, Klaus
Steilmann, Ellen Tracy, Franco
Mirabelli: and Lida Baday are
among labels available by simply
phoning in an order number.

Need Something Else to  re-
juvenate your spring wardrobe?

The catalogue offers a few
statement-making pieces that will
give your closet-worn basics an
electric jolt.

A great wrapped shirt in crisp

‘ white cotton folds across the front

to the bustline for $175. A calf-
covering narrow. skirt stretches
dramatic black lace from waist to
hem for $275,

A sheer off-white bodysuit will
go under separates for the modest,
over lingerie for the more daring,
priced at $95. A sultry silk skirt
wraps in front similar to a sarong
and drapes to below calf for $225.
All are by Anne Klein II.

Weekend wear gets equal space
in the catalogue.

Fabric as artist's canvas is the
theme for soft camp shirts by Tru,
with watercolor abstracts and
photo-realism in rich shades at
3185. A natural linen shirt gets a
fringed hem and long cylindrical
buttons like Andrea Jovine for
$195.

Also by Andrea Jovine, a
clean-lined jumper that’s cut like
an extended vest grazes the calf in
black cotton for $130.

Reasonably priced fashion
allows for shortages in spring
budgets. Consider a flax, cotton
and rayon blend jacket that is so
soft, you'll be tempted to roll up
the sleeves and wear it as a house-
coat when you’re not at the of-
fice. It’s $125 by Counterparts.

A white cotton shirt has pro-
vocative sheer insets covering the
front in a South West Indian-
inspired pattern for $85 by Como.
An elegant sarong skirt in black
cotton dips below the calf in back,
but wraps to reveal more leg in
front, for $110 by Andrea Jovine.
