Metrofashion Spring 2000 - Ladylike Chic
Michael Kors' dashing Spring 2000 super-chic designs have moved to center-stage in the fashion world. Both the Kors house collection and the Celine upscale resort collection are setting the tone for the new mood of metrostyle - mixing warm colors and fabrics with snappy details and crisp silhouettes to create a fancy modern look.

Vogue (review) calls it a "ladylike" trend, rediscovering the prim and proper simple tones of the mid-20th century. There are brilliant examples from Prada (with dark maroon tops and charcoal skirts), Valentino (pink blouses with crisp lapels matched with white fringed skirts), and of course, Chanel (brown two-peice with bold white stripes that absolutely calls for white leather gloves).

The Spring 2000 sleeper is Guy Laroche, whose chic spread of pantsuits and oriental/sub-continent jackets (we predict) will start showing up late Spring and early summer and should become a mainstay for many spring seasons to come. The Laroche Spring 2000 collection reaches across demographics; urban professionals can pair the black, pink, and white stretch pants with almost anything fun from the season, while more-tempered personalities will appreciate the exotic, yet refined jackets. We'll keep our eye on this collection throughout the year.

Trenchcoat Glamour Need to hide that $300.00 Mark Montana shreaded-yellow bandeau with frills, the one that looked so sexy in the fitting room but feels like a g-string top in public? Try a trenchcoat! Detective glamour is back with a Spring 2000 lineup of saucy and classy coats from a broad set of designers.

Elle Magazine (review) quotes John Bartlett as saying "the trenchcoat is that glamorous but perfectly practical item to throw over everything." Or nothing if you're Jennifer Lopez. And since Spring 2000 has a lot of throwing, flowing, and blustering, the trenchcoat may save the day.

Louis Vuitton presents a snappy bright leather design with matching belt, with sewn vertical patterns below the belt. Practical enough with a spiffy round-neck collar and flaps that add the fireman-about-town look.

Marc Jacobs presents a putty-colored coat that uses big buttons, a collar-lapel design, and tulip-bottom to dress up any ladylike figure. The belt ties and lies, but otherwise the look is precise and coodrinated, one of the smarter Spring 2000 designs.
