Macy's Fashion Director Russell Orlando Outlines Fall Young Contemporary for 2009


VINTAGE AMERICA
Head west for a vintage spin on the classics. From cowboy detailing to buffalo checks, this is not your mother's rodeo! Sit back in the saddle and soak in the spirit of upscale rodeo style with an artful attitude. Outerwear makes a statement with fringe jackets, long fur vests, and chaps, keeping this cowgirl clear of the elements. Vintage flat or shearling boots paired with silver cuffs and Indian-inspired jewelry sustains this south of the border look. Detailing is key, with distressed leathers, feathers, whip stitching and patchwork, epitomizing the western style. Finish off this iconic look with a classic cowboy hat.

FOREVER PLAID
Old-fashioned Scottish countryside meets West End London chic in this updated 18th century design. Conquering the world of fashion this fall, tartans and plaids are becoming an important decorative pattern, being reinterpreted in a blue blood meets hipster style. Prep school fundamentals like plaid mini skirts, family crest blazers, and knee socks play a key role. Add a touch of downtown edge with menswear vests, boyfriend jackets, slouch boots and oversized scarves.

ROCK PUNK PRINCESS
Vintage inspirations take hold in this young royal rumble. Mix silhouettes from the 20s to the 80s to accomplish the "just thrown together" look. Feminine touches of sequins, and lace, paired with the masculine feel of leather, grommets, studs and zipper detailing, balances out this hard/soft look. From fierce, elegantly tailored tuxedo pants and jackets to bugle beaded dresses and high-waisted skirts, mixed with rough and tough biker boots, metallic tights, leather pants and rocker tees, a non-conformist attitude is prevalent. Various moods of chic rock wear pierce the season's brooding atmosphere and create a stage for trends to come together.
