THE "BARE" LINE

A trend in Italian fashion is to avoid details such as trimmings. The result is that models virtually depend on cut and fabric for effect.

noticeable things about current Italian fashion is that almost all unnecessary features in the way of trim- mings have disappeared. For instance, models rely on eut and fabric design for their effect. Shoulders are slight- ly wider, Armholes are small and nent and sleeves fre smooth And narrow. Even necklines Bre often collarless or are restricted to small, stand-away collars. Sheath dresses and tunics predominate.
