Banana Republic Beats the Rainy Day Blues

Banana Republic Fall 2008 

 

It’s a dreary day today, here in New York City. The inclement weather poses not one, not two, but three major problems for me:

1)    What to wear?
2)    Where to find a cab?
3)    Why does Fall ’08 seem o’ so far away?

That spring showers prompt the last concern—the yearning for darker, damper temperatures—may of be some surprise to you. But if you’ve been paying close attention to the recent runway shows, chances are you’re itching for fall fashion to hit stores too. The somber, sexy palette! The restrained elegance! The over-size jewels!

I had almost forgotten all about autumn’s sartorial goodies until I saw the Banana Republic fall runway show a few weeks back. Filled with svelte skirts, lean knits, sculptural exterior layers, and a few French trenches the next collection is a cosmopolitan dream. And each, I’m sure, would make a rainy day so much more romantic.  See what I mean?
