On the Runways: Getups for Grownups: Wall Street Journal

DateThursday, February 19, 2009 at 7:11AM

Quoted via Wall Street Journal:

Oscar de la Renta: Getty ImagesThere's been a maturing on New York's fashion runways this season: Pencil skirts skim the knee, blouses aren't transparent, and coats and jackets have understated details that convey authority.

This may be, in part, the Michelle Obama effect at work. Mrs. Obama is known for an interest in bold colors and design that never looks inappropriately revealing. Designers like Jason Wu and Thakoon Panichgul have seen their business and their celebrity surge in the afterglow of her public appearances in their clothes. Of course, it may also be that the weak economy has spurred designers to create more-sellable collections.

 

Whatever the reasons, lo and behold, established designers seem to be rediscovering women over 40. Female executives will have much to celebrate when these clothes hit the stores next fall. more
