Making a Statement With WoolBy CATHY HORYN Fashion Reporter Language is very different than the average reporter. Using a wide variety of creative adjectives and descriptive words in sketching the perfect image of items in the readers mind. Cathy Horyn is extremely creative and interesting to read, without even seeing the piece of either Jil Sander's or Bottega Veneta's collections, I could picture the pieces in extreme detail.
1. Silhouette and Design-
• lanternlike sleeves• pumped sleeves• belted dresses or skirts featured pleats that jutted away from the hips• dresses with a somewhat high, wide-belted waist• sleeveless dress
2. Details-
• neat precision of an industrial filter• elaborate shapes• flat knitted bodice set at a slight diagonal• dark wool coats• soft gathers appeared to be controlled by the suede belt, and not by construction
3. Color-
• off-white• gray flannel• mottled stripe of gold• saffron, sky blue, clay red
4. Fabric-
• stiff tents of wool• black duchess satin• deluxe, lightweight layers of suede, cashmere and cotton jersey• silky brown coat in beaver
5. Creative jargon-
• red collage of fabric bits• graduated layers of wool at the back that fluttered like petals • “regal figure”• stately femininity was impenetrable• minimalist but up-to-date expression of glamour
• bewitching piece
