Fall fashions dazzle Eugene
High-fashion glamour arrived
in Eugene recently, temporarily
transforming Silva Hall into a
mystical fashion playground.
“Magic Castle,” the theme of
Kaufman’s annual fashion
show, was a dazzling combina
tion of music, dance and, most
importantly, designer clothing.
The show, sponsored by
Kaufman's (a women’s clothing
store), the Active 20-30 Aux
iliary and the Hult Center,
featured a sequence of 14
“mini-productions,” each with
a different fashion theme.
Precise choreography and
music enhanced the mood of
these productions, which rang
ed from Calvin Klein’s sporty
“Bltch-In-Big-City-Blues’’ to
the sensuous “Midnight
Fantasies.”
Kaufman’s Mary Jane Stuck,
the show’s coordinator, went
all-out in providing enough
original, special effects and
props to keep the audience en
thralled throughout the one
and-one-half-hour production.
A 1922 roadster, a series of
magic tricks and a Burmese
python were among the show’s
many surprises.
But the real stars were the
designers whose fall collections
were being shown. Designs by
Norma Kamali, Calvin Klein,
Liz Claiborne and Ralph Lauren
were highlights.
These clothes reflect the
trends and changes in today’s
fashion world. A distinctive
sportswear orientation is ob
vious in the simplicity and ease
of design in the separates.
Menswear is an important in
fluence everywhere this season,
with man-tailored jackets and
trousers being especially
prominent.
Key elements of this look are
big, squared-off shoulders and
noticeably sharp details. The
variety of fabric patterns and
textures available leave much
room for experimentation.
Coats are an essential war
drobe item this season. Because
of the multitude of styles and
shapes offered, coats are mak
ing big waves this fall. The most
classically designed shapes
have been updated and redefin
ed in new and exciting fabrics.
The coats shown included a
luxurious silver fox, a full
length bright purple wool and a
snug shiny trench in black
leather. All three are represen
tative of this year’s freewheel
ing fashion attitude.
Evening wear and lingerie
vary in style from all-out
glamour to classic elegance.
Black lace tap pants and hip
emphasizing dresses conjure up
visions of 1920s movie starlets.
.The show was rounded-out
with Boy George-inspired “An
drogynous Dressing” and ex
amples of the extremely trendy
fashion craze — neon brights.
From start to finish, “Magic
Castle” gave everyone watching
a tightly packaged presentation,
highlighting the best of this
fall's clothing — a real treat for
Eugene’s fashion audience.
