| Bill Blass Cruise
2000 Designer Spotlight |
 ©1999-2000
metrofashion-San Franciscans got a personal taste of the Bill
Blass Cruise 2000 collection when Mr. Blass himself appeared for a trunk
show at Saks Fifth Avenue in Union Square. According to Women's
Wear Daily(August 1999), Cruise 2000 should be "utilitarian".  Maybe
so, but this is Bill Blass' final sportswear collection before retirement
and it turns out to be very hip.
Blass Cruise 2000 is
ablaze with color and flair- bright fusia
dresses, strapless
peices inspired by the sailing motif, and sporty,
rich silver, bronze, and ivory evening peices, any of which shimmy effortlessly
from the oyster bar to the deckrail to the dancefloor. You can see over
50 photographs of the Blass 2000 (and final) Collection from the Spring
Fashion Shows on the Vogue website.
 Trunk
Show: Bill Blass seemed magnificantly resolved at his San Francisco
trunk show, signing personal books from fans and talking about his latest
sportswear designs. There were only a few models, and peices were brought
out casually throughout the afternoon for visitors to review.
Three prominent mannequins displayed the heart of the collection,
and Mr. Blass later took pictures with members of the Saks staff and shoppers.
It was a warm and memorable, although quiet, appearance for Bill Blass,
and one that participants will treasure many years from now when the designer
is no longer publicly available. |
