Spring Fashion, Straight From The Boys’ Section
December 1, 2008 10:16 am
Balenciaga’s Fall 2007 collection signaled the return of the jacket—remember the shrunken schoolboy blazer that launched a thousand copies? Now the look has received a major makeover (click for slideshow). For spring it’s less Blair Waldorf, more Lloyd Dobler. (For those of you born in the nineties, that’s Say Anything’s Lloyd Dobler.) Scott Sternberg included several roomy options in his womenswear collection Boy by Band of Outsiders. “Designers are finally acknowledging that menswear for women is less of a trend and really just a way that women feel like dressing sometimes,” he said. “The boyfriend blazer is very democratic; it looks good on anyone.” There were day-friendly looks punctuated with rolled or pushed-up sleeves at Ruffian, DKNY, and Rag & Bone, while evening jackets came embroidered with sequined panels at Dries Van Noten or with an allover metallic sheen at Maison Martin Margiela. Now, if we could just find someone willing to stand outside our window with a boom box.
