Ebony, Sept, 2006 by Eunice W. Johnson
Autumn is that time of year when fashionable women worldwide ponder what to wear that will be appropriate for sometimes--warm days and ofttimes cool evenings. Designers in the fashion capitals around the world are presenting a variety of options for this transitional season. On one end of the spectrum is Gianfranco Ferre's elegant taffeta jacket and blouse and Antonio Marras' tuxedo with sequin-trimmed cropped pants. For more casual occasions, there are Max Mara's hooded tunic sweater and the spiffy equestrian ensemble from DSquared.
