The color of the season is bordeaux, bordeaux, bordeaux. "The idea of wine and roses. Not only with ready-to-wear, but certainly also with handbags and with shoes."
- Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus Fashion Director
The return of sophistication and ladylike dress. Look for ensemble dressing again, exemplified by beautifully sculpted pieces in coordinating fabrics or the matching color of a handbag and shoe.
Not just in outerwear this year, leather was all over the runways as accents, skirts, and the must-have for every woman this season, a beautiful leather dress.
Add modernity to your wardrobe with some shimmer and shine. "What I'm loving the most in women's fabrications is the addition of shimmer and shine, a lot of lurex and a lot of lamé. And not only for evening, but for day."
- Ken Downing
Pumps are the shoe to embrace this season. "It's not just a pair of pumps from the past. These are sexy pumps that will really update everything you're wearing."
- Ken Downing
A handheld bag replaces the unstructured bohemian bucket as the bag of the season. Achieve elegant lady chic with a sleek and sexy clutch. Or, get opulent with rich jewel tones in leather, python or even fur.
