here's a whole new way of
dressing this fall, and it's epito-
mized by a Harve Benard suit.
It's uncluttered and body-
conscious; for example, a side-button
jacket skims a button-front wrap skirt
with stitched-down box pleats. The
perfect accent — a white silk stock
tie/bow blouse with dimpled shoulder.
Another smart, executive suit is
precisely tailored in a crisp silk and
wool jacquard. It merges a shawl-
collared double-breasted jacket with a
slim stitched-down side-pleated skirt
that artfully conceals a slit for extra
mobility, A silk crepe de chine button-
down shirt adds the finishing touch.
Knits have a fresh, new proportion.
