ager with a similar bohemian
approach to layering, is the lat-
est inspiration for a new line of
sportswear, shoes and acces-
sories. Called Blossom by En-
chante, it debuts this month in
stores across the country.
Like television, movies affect
fashion trends, particularly
when it comes to young people's
movies and logo T-shirts. Pres-
ident of the New York City-
based children's-wear fashion
service, David Wolfe Kids, Mr.
Wolfe is excited about Steven
Spielberg's Jurassic Park as the
"movie merchandising tie-in of
the decade — better than Bat-
man," he declared. "It will be the
most important motif crossing
over into back-to-school fashions
for toddlers to pre-teens."
Bonnie Horowitz-Fuller, of
YM, predicts that the upcoming
Three Musketeers movie will
spark interest in velvet and ruf-
fled shirts for school.
More than ever in the spot-
light, what with a newly re-
leased movie and two
cutting-edge music videos, is
singer/actor Janet Jackson.
MTV's Jimmy Hanrahan cred-
its Jackson with single-handed-
ly reviving the whole
American-Indian influence in
jewelry, due to the bone and
bead chokers she wore in her
videos. Even super-hip guys are
taking to the collar, although
theirs are thinner and simpler
than the girls.
"When the lead singer of a
hard-core rap group like
Naughty By Nature is wearing
a bone choker, you can bet well
be seeing more of this style state-
ment on young men very soon,"
Hanrahan said.
"Rap music is still influencing
fashion," said Teen Magazine's
fashion director Maureen Ryan-
Blochi.
This time around, instead of
all the baggy blindingly bright-
colored layers, it's brought about
a change in proportion — un-
dersized mixed with oversized.
"The look is to wear something
tight, balanced by something
baggy, like a bodysuit worn with
baggy jeans or an oversized
work-wear jacket worn with
slim pants or leggings," said
Stephanie Fassler, VP of mer-
chandising for Merry-Go-Round
stores.
To finish the outfit, you need
"status" footwear. And the
clunkier, the better — from cor-
rogated rubber-soled boots to
clogs and platfol ms. Urban Out-
fitters touts Na Na's "pole
climbers" (insulated work boots)
as the hottest thing next to Doc
Martens. YM's Fuller thinks
Adidas and Puma are on the
way back as major fashion
footwear.
What will be next? Trend fore-
caster David Wolfe reports that
in '94 manufacturers are already
looking to outfit youngsters in
hard-core industrial work-wear
such as fire fighter jackets made
of protective fabrics like rubber,
as well as blanket wool. "Kids
are going to look like they're get-
ting ready to go dig through a
coal mine," said Wolfe.
Suddenly, simple school uni-
forms — the anti-choice alter-
native to all of this — are taking
on a whole new light.
