I found Style director for Ebay, Constance White sitting a few seats away from me at Derek Lam's show Wednesday afternoon and asked her to tell us what we should be looking for right now on the online auction site. (photo: Paul Sakuma/AP)
With so much influence coming from the 1940s and military elements, White thinks that menswear touches, in fabrications, details and tailoring, will be popular with women this fall. "There's also this 'Anglo-mania' going on with a return to wools and plaids," she said, citing what she just saw at Michael Kors show and in newcomer Doo.Ri's collections. Pants and skirts have made a dramatic comeback and there's a style for nearly every body type and taste. "The separates make much more sense for most women than dresses," she said.
Here's what she says to use as keywords when looking to update your fall 2006 closet right now.
Tartan.
Plaids.
Trousers.
Stovepipe pants.
