BODY BEAUTIFUL
TO DYE FOR
SHIRT VARIATIONS
The shirt, like jeans or the trenchcoat, can be endlessly reinvented and still retain its original character, especially when cut from classic shirting fabrics. Erin Beatty of Rentrayage, known for her piecing and patchworks, used a mix of checks for an upcycled tunic cinched with a self-tie. Christian Juul Nielsen of Aknvas gave man-tailored stripes a femme twist with a flouncy peplum, rosettes and poufy bubble skirt, a key silhouette this season. Priscavera brought interest to tailored boxer short-and-shirt set with a subtle lacing detail that is both functional (as a shaping device) and decorative. Jane Siskin at Cinq à Sept also explored the bubble for a crop-top and midi-skirt combo, and Amy Smilovic of Tibi riffed on the ruffled tuxedo shirt in a perfect shade of petal pink. Michael Kors showed a shirttail tunic as a minidress, its front placket laced with a delicate gold chain.
