NOSTALGIA IS back in style.
Trends in fashion this fall are
drawing heavily on the past. The
brazen sexuality of the past few
seasons’ fashion has been replaced
by a demure seductiveness.
“Antique looks in gold-filled
jewelry are a perfect complement
to the new femininity,’’ says

Antique motifs in gold-filled
jewelry run the gamut from Vic-
torian romance to “retro” inspira-
tion.

A teal cameo piece is a great
way lo start an ‘‘antique’’ jewelry
collection. Real cameos are set in

gold-filled earrings, pendants,
bracelets and brooches.

Victorian intaglios or carvings

women this fall.

Styles range from tailored to

main popular symbols of romance.
Gold-filled earrings, pins, pen-
dants and bracelets feature these

ments added to both, and hemlines
range from long to short, with
some above the knees. Colors are
rich and carthy. Textures are
found in everything, from fabrics
to footweer,

“The two popular dress styles
for fall are the tailmred one-piece
new ‘suit dress’ and the dressier,
lace-collared AM/PM dress,’’ ex-
plains Janice Gibney, a buying
vice-president for a nationwide
women’s career dressing retail
chain.

“The one-piece ‘stiit dress’
spices up the traditional tailored
look with a feminine peplum
treatment at the hip.

“The AM/FM lace collar is a
very versatile dress because it can
be worn to work and it’s dressy
enough to wear after hours.”

Footwear, as well as dresses,
comes in a variety of earthy colors
and textures this fall. ‘Black will
be an important color in women’s
pumps this autumn,’’ says Bill
Wyatt, a women’s shoe buyer.

“And new textures sttch as the
reptile prints help to keep black
shoes looking fresh. Bows and
woven textures also add texture
and style to traditional pumps.”’

For fall, career dressing will tru-
ly be an individual experience with
the variety of colors, styles and
textures available in dresses, ac-
cessories and footwear.
