With so many different silhouettes, lengths and details on the fall fashion scene, what one thing will the most Fashion-Forward woman want to wear that will make her distinctively fashionable? What one thing will Ms. Mainstream-the woman who wants to look fashionable but doesn`t want to lead the pack-want to buy this fall?
We asked some experts who influence what`s in some Chicago stores.
Sal Ruggiero, vice president, fashion director, Marshall Field`s:
FF-Something with very exaggerated fringe. It`s the fashion detail.
MM-A long, pleated skirt.
Kal Ruttenstein, senior vice president, fashion director, Bloomingdale`s: FF-Some version of the cutaway coat or the frock coat, over narrow cropped pants.
MM-Slimmer pants than she`s wearing now.
Joan Weinstein, president, Ultimo:
FF-One piece that is absolutely extraordinary, such as a really beautiful blouse, or, more likely, an incredible coat. It will be a fabulous coat season.
