134 FALL '87

ack-to-school is big
business for the cloth-
ing manufacturers. Each
aims to be on target
with the fast-moving, ever-
changing face of teen fashions.
From three national manufact-
urers come the following high-
lights of the fall season:
COTLER:
Cotler divided its fall line into
sub-categories, as befits the dif-
ferent styles of dressing.
Blues Alley is denim compon-
ents, whitewashed or overdyed,
in cuffed, baggy pants to sher-
pa-lined, oversized jackets.
Papaya Revolution redefines
pigment-dye canvas/twill, a stap-
le for young men, utilized on
pants to jackets with elastic,
buckles and inset treatments.
Nouveau Navajo is Southwest-
ern inspired, with colorful hues
of adobe yellow to terra cotta in
prints borrowed from Indian
blankets.
Kamikaze, an activewear
grouping, is fleece coordinates
with updated sportswear styling
of knee patches, puffed prints
and suspenders.
Retro Groove is dress-up
clothing with "retro" styling.
Direzione, semi-constructed
suitings, gives European "dir-
ections" with an American twist.
GIRBAUD:
Marithe and Francois Girbaud,
French fashion designers, have
created a cold weather collec-
tion which revolves around two
elements — activewear and mis-
matched-uneven-asymmetrical
garments. There are five fabric
classifications: Raye lnegal,
Scop, Clan, Gigogne and Jean
Actif.
Raye lnegal means "uneven
stripe," in a soft, neutral color
palette for this group. Knit jack-
ets are fitted and flared, trous-
ers are cropped and cuffed,
and there are wrap-front details
on pants and skirts. Stripes are
mismatched. Garments are a-
symmetrical from side to side
and back to front.
