FASHION

a balance for fall

FALL/WINTER 1988 will be
remembered for a modern ap-
proach to color and cut in men’s
fashion, says Gentlemen's
Quarterly magazine.

In suitings, a relaxed, soft con-
struction continues to prevail in
both refined double-breasted sil-
houettes, as well as in two- or
three-button single-breasted
models.

Sophisticated suitings also ap-
pear in new, modern fabrications
such as wool covert, gabardine and
soft English-inspired tweeds.

Navy and grey predominate the
color scheme for serious business
settings, but, a varied color palette
emerges for less-traditional occa-
sions, ranging from warm earth
tones of nutmeg, copper, rust and
cocoa to rich Gothic shades of
Burgundy, gold, camel and black.

This season's tailored sportswear
relies strongly on British, Tyrolean
and provincial Italian influences.

Sportscoats appear in heartier
interpretations of herringbone,
check and Donegal tweeds, and in
bolder windowpane, glen and tar-
tan plaids.

These English and European
provincial looks can be easily worn
with fall’s updated furnishings:

Men's fashion
freed for fall

FALL ’88 USHERS in a whole
new feeling of fashion excitement,
as the spirit of the ’60s returns, of-
fering men across the country an
opportunity to express themselves
through their clothes, recreating
the easy mood established 20 years
ago.

. Especially in sportswear, fashion
freedom is exhilarating, as well-
dressed men can choose between
cool neutrals and sizzling brights,
subtle solids and playful patterns.

In fact, fall ’88 is ‘‘shaping up,”’
according to Randy Ronning,
fashion director of the men’s divi-
sion of a major department store,
‘fas a time when a man can find a
fashion attitude to suit all of his
different moods and interests.”

For men who like to see all their
options spread out in front of
them — there are many.

Among the casual wear stand-
outs are tie-dyed t-shirts which
demonstrate how easily the 60s
mood can be updated to suit the
"80s lifestyle.

Some sweaters boast geometric
patterns on black grounds, another
‘60s motif reinterpreted for the
"80s.

Another trend that’s flying high
for fall ’88 is the aviator look,
which features blouson jackets in
all of fall’s favorite fabrications
and leathers, paired with pants
which boast a wide range of
unusual pocket treatments.

As far as tailored clothing is
concerned, the ’60s fashion
freedom prevails, though in a far
more subdued way.

Such traditional elements as
stripes, tweeds and solids are used
in combination to add excitement
to even conservative styles, as pat-
tern on pattern makes a play for
centre stage.

While the trend in suits and
sportcoats is reserved, resulting in
subtle patterns overlaid on dark
grounds, according to Ronning, ‘‘a
spirited selection of neckwear in
unusual paisteys, dots and
geometric patterns gives the
business dresser a look that’s both
established and adventurous.”’

The ’60s fashion spirit has
grown up, encompassing man’s
conservative as well as his playful
side — a perfect pairing for the
*80s, and absolutely right for fall
*88.

dark shirts and dark ties, polos or
turtlenecks and bold color accents
introduced through scarves and
ties.

Two words describe fall/winter
1988 accessories: subtle and
sophisticated.

New essentials include a classic
felt fedora, luxurious suede gloves,
and a bold-faced modern watch
with brown or black calfskin band.

Footwear, too, carries on in the
English tradition, with heavier sol-
ed brogues and lace-ups in tradi-
tional black or brown.

heartier leather and suede.

Outerwear takes shape in
generous silhouettes, whether in
burnished tweed, herringbone or
wool melton for below the knee
and three-quarter length duffel
coats.

Shearling shows up in coats and
bombers of luxurious warmth and
function, appearing in both pale
natural and deep shades.

The news in fall knitwear begins
with modern variations on classic
Nordic jacquard themes in new
and unusual colorations.

‘A TWO-DAY WORKSHOP
SANDRA SEMCHUCK - SEPT. 30.0CT. 2

his photography workshop will give participants an opportunity

to freely explore personal vision within a natural and supportive

environment. We will work with the concept of the ‘child within’

in order to ease into concentrated creative activity. Without a
bank of self-images to live up to, the archetypal child can totally engage
experience. In this workshop | ask individuals to permit themselves to
play with the camera and to respond openly.

uring the follow-up critique, individuals will explore their own
images in order to give form to his/her vision: to create single
image works, sequences, bookworks, collages. etc. Emphasis
in the critique will be on ways in which each participant offers
and gains access to his/her own images and the images of others.

his workshop is for beginning to advanced photographers.
Knowledge of one’s own camera equipment is a prerequisite.
Beginners are advised to work with color print film (daylight)
and more advanced students can work in whatever film
medium they wish, providing they can have images ready for the critique.
The critique session will be held two weeks following the workshop at
Sandra’s home in Richmond, on Saturday, October 15, 10:30-5:00 p.m.

andra Semchuck is concerned with renewing ways of glimpsing -

and communicating identity through photography. Raised in

a small northern Saskatchewan town, Sandra received her

. graduate degree in photography from the U. of New Mexico

and has taught in a wide range of situations in Saskatchewan and

Ontario and at Emily Carr College of Art and Design here in Vancouver.
Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally.
