What makes lace look new is color: orange lace, blue lace, hot pink, lime green.

And I\u2019ll tell you it came from Fifty Shades of Grey. We saw a lot of \u201cpretty meets provocative\u201d [on the runway]. A lot of fashion designers were actually referencing the book, even many said, \u201cWell I didn\u2019t read the book, but I was thinking about what people were reading in the book.\u201d So you have this provocative footwear that has big wide ankle straps or interesting gladiator boots that go up the leg. <\/p>\n<p>The idea of a bright colored handbag, if you\u2019re wearing yellow you should have an electric blue handbag. If you\u2019re wearing electric blue you should wear a hot pink handbag. Colors that clash actually look really modern for the moment, so a hot colored handbag is very, very important. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a real ease that is happening in fashion right now too. I call it \u201crelaxed chic.\u201d There is still polish to what we\u2019re seeing, but a little bit of an ease. It\u2019s a nod to what\u2019s happening for spring, a couture sweatshirt; instead of a sweatshirt in fleece you\u2019re seeing a sweatshirt in chiffon or in lace. Interesting luxury fabric tract pants have been done in a really super couture sort of way, just a bit more volume. There\u2019s going to be a lot of volume at play as we come into the fall season. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/interviews\/neiman-marcus-fashion-director-ken-downing-talks-fashion-trends\/attachment\/dsc_0089\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17050\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751-80x129.jpg\"  alt=\"DSC_0089\"  width=\"498\"  height=\"800\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17050 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751.jpg 498w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751-380x610.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751-80x129.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751-50x80.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/22083921\/DSC_0089-e1372042576751-68x109.jpg 68w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Prints everywhere, lead by stripes\u2014big, bold black and white cabana stripes\u2014and then mixing pattern with print.

A lot of blues throughout the entire season a real kind of soft tailoring is taking place inside of menswear. Instead of the jacket being more rigid, it has a little bit more of a softness. <\/p>\n<p>For both men and for women as we go into fall, the rocker jacket is a must have. We are seeing a lot of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll influences and referencing. The MET costume exhibit is punk. The David Bowie V&#038;A exhibit delves into his glam rock, Ziggy Stardust period and the New Museum had the 1993 exhibit that touched on grunge. So you\u2019re seeing this amalgam of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. We saw early in the season biker and motocross jackets for women in colorful leather and that same idea, a leather topper for men as we go into the fall season is a black rocker jacket. If you are a guy, you are going to wear it with a suit or skinny pant for a real kind of English sensibility.<\/p>\n<p> A lot of jewel tones as we go into fall for men too: Bordeaux, emerald, and topaz. So, color and print everywhere for men this season. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Photos and Interview by Kristianne Young<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Neiman Marcus Fashion
