It's sad but true; nothing in fashion is new! My grandmother once told me "If you live long enough, you'll see everything come around again", and she was right. And while the Fall/Winter Collection 2011 by Ermanno Scervino is a mélange of styles regurgitated from the 70's and 80's, somehow the collection seems fresh with it's slender silhouettes and monochromatic palette. Androgeny waxes feminine ala 1980's St. Laurent, with tailored trousers that take one anywhere. The daring backless pantsuit stubbornly makes another attempt at relevance yet another season, and the cape is modified into a rather chic 21st century carcoat. I was suprised to see shorts with tights, as this fashion statement seems to have seen it's day in the streets of Paris - being all that in 2009, and noticeably less so in 2010, and were those socks with sandals?! Must have's for Fall 2011: Ankle boots, Groovy car coat (semi cape), slim tailored trousers.
