Fall/Winter 2007

This season, so many garments appear more appropriate for spring than fall. Is this global warming in the fashion industry? Maybe, maybe not.
Jane McMillan, designer for Mac Millan, said in an interview, that she designs more for spring than fall. Her fall 2007 designs represent the New York City skyline with colors of dawn and resplendent sunsets. Her urban geometric prints suggest architectural designs of buildings, both famous and not so famous.
She mentioned the fifties clothing influence which is the catylist for several of her felted wool coats, reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' style of coats and jackets. The high collars, large buttons, and three-quarter sleeves closely resembled the former First Lady's sophisticated look.
The use of bright colors, winter whites, and herringbone for coats and capes, as designer Chris Han has also shown, remind us of times past. Silk chiffon dresses with uneven pleated taffeta hems are shown in combinations of mauve, black, silver, and red.
The Mac Millan label, established in 1997, is shown in London and New York Fashion Weeks.

Chris Han's other designs include cream, gold, and grey coats, trench coats with mesh hoods, and jackets with leather pockets and belts, worn with silk gloves. Chiffon blouses are paired with a cashmere cardigan wrap and silk bias-cut skirt in gold or grey.
Violet is a featured color in a jersey tulle dress, a trench coat with a gold mesh hood, and a mesh top with black lace trim, worn with black cigarette pants. A large-collared black jersey dress with grey herringbone jacket, and a grey herringbone cape with black leather pants look stunning.
Gun metal tulle and black beaded chiffon create revealing sleeveless tops and dresses that suggest spring evening wear. Chris Han's black feather evening gown with long tulle sleeves and her copper necklace gown with a large net underskirt are breath-taking and lovely.
