“Fall’s 2013 music-infused message of Rocker Chic defined the runways and will define a woman’s wardrobe,” notes Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus fashion director. “Light as a feather, supple leathers translate into must-have motto jackets that top everything in a woman’s wardrobe for day and for night. Leather as trim on dresses, skirts, pants and jackets gives a subtle rocker edge to the most-sophisticated style.
“Also, saturated shades of violet and red in every hue becomes the color contrast to black, white and the beautiful browns that become the base of the season. And a red shoe and a red handbag make black worthy of a second look for fall.”
