The film star glamour and refined sophistication of the twenties is being reused for fall 2008.

“The temperature already migrated from the more conventional tomboy to a gentler, frailer kind of masculinity,” Benz says. “This is showed through tiered shirtdresses, light ombre dyed-raccoon pelages in pastille colors, and worn ruff-collars. Besides, this gentler masculinity is more figured through a practically more tonic colorize palette.”
