FIENDTHURSDAY: RETRO INSPIRATION

PANTSUITS ALA HEPBURN

It is no coincidence that the premiere classic and minimalist designers of our time are sending out modern pantsuits for women that harken back to a bygone era; an era when the very thought of a woman in pants sent shock waves through society.

Donna Karan [left], Lanvin by Alber Elbaz [center], and Ralph Lauren [right] all send out suits that, had they been produced six decades ago, would have been staples in the wardrobe of Katherine Hepburn.
