Net-a-porter demonstrates The New Fusion with Tibi's silk track pants shown here with stilettos and a gray sweatshirt, makes quirky good sense, if you think about it.
J. Crew, masters of the unexpected, "fuse" a chambray button up shirt with a white sequin pencil skirt. Wear it anywhere, any time, day or evening. www.jcrew.com
And Jane Darling by Me, known for their legginskirt made from high tech fabric (makes you look 10 pounds thinner) adds a sequined trimmed jacket to move the legginskirt from the tennis court to a black tie event. www.jdbymecollection.com
Clearly The New Fusion is a sensible approach to dressing today's busy woman. In some ways modern fashion has morphed into one indistinguishable blob. Dressing up is now dressing down. As one store owner recently mentioned to me, "Remember my customer is very active."
I can relate. I often plan my next collection as I zone out to the music during my spinning class. I run from there to the grocery, design meetings, luncheons, soccer games, doctor's appointments, favorite restaurants, movies, and charity events. And that's when I'm not on an airplane on my way to my next trunk show, or driving on the road to my next sales meeting. Sound familiar?
Out of necessity, women have become expert jugglers, and that's a very important fact to remember. As a jewelry designer, I think of all fashion in terms of it's relevance to today's frenetic lifestyle. That is why a light bulb recently shone in my rattled brain and I decided that my next online jewelry collection would focus on that very active lifestyle that we all enjoy. To put it in jewelry terms, think edgy rubber bracelets with pearls and lockets as an accessory for high tech fabrics and sequins. Stay tuned. Can't wait to show you.
