The colors of fall very much
in command, wheat, barley, rust,
and tan. In suede and woolens
were the great cashmere sweaters,
plus blends of Cordovan to dark
brown jackets. Continuing to reign
are leggings and master of all - the
very im portant vest. Out front
were the warm fashionable scarves
and logger plaids. Prints in jack ­
ets and shirts were on target. It’s
raining, it’s pouring, lightning
strikes and for stormy weather
there was the great raincoat - black
in color with optional sprinkles of
brown.
Also great news were new hat
shapes, the jean scene - funky with
the perfect fit jean accessorized
with the new glossy fabric shirt.
This show also featured good
looking men m odels, and they all
had perfect short haircuts.

With fashion savvy and a per­
fect body to match, a gold fluo­
rescent evening dress by Adrianna

knockout without question. She
was charmed by six male m odels
who enfolded her with yellow
roses. N eedless to say the audi­
ence were waiting to catch them.
The lighting and music sound
system made for a fabulous event.
The Trail Blazer wives looked
exquisite in evening wear as well
as their husbands concluding this
year’s “Fashion Focus Fall 1995.”
Excuse me I forgot to m en­
tion the succulent fried chicken
