@ The greys: This vear’s light

iional than charcoal, especial-
ly when accented with pale

or silver. Interest: is created
with heathers, novelty tex:
tures, embroidery, Mocking
and beading.

RW The reds: Look for the
ertire range of red, from true

Choose from pure white,
ivory, barley, raupe, heathered
oatmeal and the palest grey.
@ Luxury fibres: Cashmere,
alpaca, mohair, camel hair
and angora remain as influen-
tial as ever. Our lust tor anv-
thing fashioned from. these
luxurious fibres seems to
reflect the turn-of- the-centu-
ry desire for soothing com-
fort.

@ Surface interest: Many of
this season's hottest pieces
feature surface decoration or
special treatments for an extra
dimension of style.
Compression creates cosy
flannels, boiled wool and
Shetlands. A new focus on

shop for

construction and weaves cre:
dies honevenmbs, basket
weaves, walfle Weaves, reverse
jerseys, cabling and ribbing.
And finally, there are finishing
treatments — like brushing,
pleating and creasing.

@ Stretch: Suetch fibres have
made their mack on just
about: everything we wear.
This vear, the focus is firmly
on suitings and knitwear.

@ The cwin set: An all-time
favourite that only seems to
xet stronger every vear, The
cardigan and caint variatian ts
particulaciy impertant for the
vear 2000. Embroidery, bead-
ing and Hocking freshen the
look.

@ Knes-length jackets: a
new longer silhouetre updates
the classic jacket, especially
when paired with the stim
pant or skirt.

THIS year, just about
everything we wear can
be found in stretch fab-
rics, but the emphasis is
definitely on suits. The
extra give of the fabric
allows for greater com-
fort, and a suit that will
maintain its fit through a
busy work day.

Women define
future beauty

IT is what’s on the
inside that will make
women beautiful in the
coming years.

Earlier this year, one of the
world’s largest cosmetic com-
panies, Clinique, turned to
women themselves for their
definition of “beauty” for the
future. Women were asked to
e-mail Clinique’s Web site with
their thoughts.

Surprisingly, rnust_ women
regardless of age, shared the
common ideal that a “sense of
confidence” will make women
beautiful but otherwise the
results revealed dramatic gener-
ational differences.

Women in their teens said
“inner beauty” and a person's
“values” will make her beauti-
ful, while women in their 20s

said beauty will be seen
through “ethnic diversity.”
Women in their 30s defined
future beauty as a sense of
“agelessness” and women in
their 40s said “uniqueness” will
take women beautiful. For
women in their 50s, beauty will
corne from “self-acceptance”
and women in their 60s said
having “energy and vitality”
nil be the key to being beauti-
Almost none of the submis-
sions mentioned physical
attributes. The answers across
the board were powerfully
emotional and proof that the
long-leg, flat-stomach, tiny-
nose, full-lip, long-eyelash
beauty of the past will not be at
the top of the list of require-
ments for beauty in the future.

A professional with the right training and
experience can help you rediscover your legs
free of unwanted varicose and spider veins
with only minimal discomfort.
