Color Palette:  Experimenting with shine, Cox and Silver played with shiny satins–and what appears to be gold lamé.  A neutral palette of creamy whites, tans, greys, and black was splashed with color: bright reds, oranges, and yellows. Loud, colorful floral prints also creeped their way into the collection.

Silhouettes:  Key looks included the just-above-the-knee short, button-down shirts with 70s style exaggerated pointed collars, cotton trenchcoats, and the 3 piece suit (echoing Fall 2007’s return to formality).  Preppy looks included blazers with shorts and the three-piece suits.  Athletic looks included a just-stepped-off-the-court wifebeater paired with shorts and a gauzy grey hooded sweater.  Trousers were more accurately described as slacks, with their loose fit, while the shorts were cut with a slimmer fit.  Most jackets were oversized and sack shaped, but Duckie Brown featured a couple of slim-cut styles: a shrunken blazer and a motocross jacket. 

Accessories Report:  Duckie Brown’s signature accessory: colorful, striped socks.  Cox and Silver also showed beanie hats, sneakers, and patent leather loafers.

What’s Wearable:  The just-above-the-knee short is a winner, as are the splashes of color from the accessories.

What’s Not Wearable:  Forget about the flowery pants.  We’re going to pretend we didn’t just see that.
