He’s a fashion designer, modern, trendy, a conversation starter... all the cats with street cred wear him. Just like my iPhone, modern, trendy... You won’t forget me now. And why green?

THE WONDERFUL WORLDOF SKIRTSwritten by Jenny Oh

Skirts. Mini / Micro/ High-Wasited etc. who doesn't love it. There are so many choices.One of the few things still left in fashion for us girls to wear. It's versatile enough to be casualor super chic, but still holds true to give every woman a feminine touch.

There is always a rotation of trends in style and it seems currently the mini skirt holds strongfor the classic silhouette. Although it may be considered inapprorpiate for workor in venues with a formal dress code, if styled with more conservative types of garmentsusuch as silk blouses, it can still pass as an ultra polished and chic look. For a more femi-nine-touchof styling, there is the flip skirt where the skirt fits from the waist and is flared in the hemline.The excentuated waist and the flared hem helps to create an illusion of longer and skinner legs.

Depending on the look trying to be achieved, anything from t-shirts, blouses, light sweaterscan be easily matched with a skirt. If you are not big on experimenting just remember to utilizeone item of clothing to be of pattern or with a pop of color, and blend with neutral tones.

So why not style yourself with a little feminine-play this fall before the cold winter hits.Pairing with fun socks or patterned tights always adds more fun.

I think they are a trend, and an iconic statement of style. But, cuffs started as a necessity. How did cuffs jump from being a necessity to being a trend

that is part of our everyday style?

Cuffs are one of those rare items that jumped from being a necessity to a trend. Another is riveted denim jeans, which journeyed from a San Francisco gold miner’s work gear to be part of American history.

Cuffs have been around long before men started wear-ing the modern cut of pants. In fact, some say that King Edward VII created the cuffs in the 1890s to be worn on poor weather days to avoid muddying the trouser bottoms. They first appeared in the modern cut in British films in the 1920s and 1950s. Then there is James Dean who made both denim and cuffs iconic in his white tee shirt. Cuffs took a long journey from the England of King Edward VII to our streets today.

To find out more about the journey that cuffs have taken, I sat down with Jay Gagnon who is Senior Di-rector of Visual Merchandising at Ermenegildo Zegna at Zegna’s corporate offices In New York.

According to Gagnon everything comes back to fash-ion, and there is no such thing as a mere necessity. What he means is that nothing is original. Everything flows from something, and cuffs flowed from a neces-sity. In his view cuffs are not unique in that way, but are unique because people see them as something that they can mold into a trend that differentiates them from others.

According to Gagnon, certain trends do not work on everyone, and cuffs is one of them. Cuffs take a certain personality or a sense of presence to pull off. Maybe that’s what makes cuffs special and iconic.

I asked Gagnon why he thinks so many people feel that they have to be part of a trend when accord-ing to him, not everyone can pull it off. Ganon says that’s because some don’t have sense of style of their own. Some people like to be part of a group and some people like to be outside of the group. He says that you can’t learn to be stylish. Stylish is being yourself, not following a group. In that way, cuffs are for those who are themselves, or in other words, have a sense of personal presence.

I asked Gagnon if he thinks cuffs would ever go away as a trend given it has been around for a long time. He thinks it will go away but like other iconic rends, it will never die. He reminded me about the trends of the past. The wide leg pants that flowed easily, Tom Brown’s excessive short pants and the skinny pants popularized by Levi’s. It’s the same for men and women. There were the miniskirts in the 1970s and then there were pencil skirts.

The point in all this is that cuffs are a trend but is not a trend for everyone unless you do it correctly. But that in itself is a challenge to all of us to be ourselves and do our own thing. If we do, then the cuffs can be part of us. That’s what makes a trend.
