banana turns 30, warps time

Bananarepublic

Walking into Exit Art last night was like entering a time warp. Photographers were in the pit; happily chattering editors clutching runs of show and sipping Champagne lined the runway…could it be September already? Phew, not yet. The occasion was the showing of Banana Republic's Fall 2008 Holiday line, and the label, celebrating its 30th anniversary, went all out. The collection combined form-fitting sheaths with tomboyish separates in a palette of grey, white, and black with a few jolts of fuchsia. Also in the mix: so-called "heritage" pieces (read: classics like a trench-style cape) and looks from Banana's new, more luxe Monogram line. The result? A signature event.
