Summer glamour begins with great SANDALS of course. These could be in the form of flat shoe, open toe with or without straps. A low heel pump, preferably MULES for day or evening. Then lots of lightweight fabric dresses, blouses, slacks and scarves. Colors I find most attractive are pastels. Better in pink (rose, magentas etc), lemon and lime tones, sandlewood and yellows and stay away from RED. Hair should be pulled back if long and close to the nape if short with a bit of highlight. Prints should be limited and only worn with solids. Like a solid color pant or blouse, preferably white or black. But everyone must pay attention to the colors that suits them best. Please... stay away from too much black, browns and grays. These are unattractive colors on the wrong right person. There are tons of looks available out there, thanks to the Designers out there and a little of your style and input. Have a great Summer 2006.

7th Ave. is oh so different now from when I was a young designer there. All the hoopla about what to wear? ...question is? Who cares! You think the designers do. Well. Perhaps in their own little delusional state of glamour. Anyway. Thank God the schools are ALL pumping out hundreds of potential designers every year. There is still hope. Hope that clothing design might once again incorporate Style, Sophistication and Wit. Designers need to STOP trying to just "..make it work" and concentrate on "...MAKING IT FAB..."
