Fashion Cents - Look great on YOUR budget

Fall/Winter 2004 - Look like a million on next to nothing

Feature article: Create your signature Try a magazine look Shop in your closet Three Looks Three Looks We're back with our copy that model feature, and this time, bring you three looks that you can copy. You've probably been frustrated with runway looks that require special pieces that you can't possibly find, but there are a few gems you can really re-create. Here are three: 1. Polina Kouklina, D&G Now here's something you might really wear. Last year's cropped, folded jeans get some air along with a fitted tee (rock tees are back in). Wear a big belt (you can spray paint it metallic if you like) and top with a contrasting blazer, like a seersucker. Her hair is tied in a patterned scarf that drapes down the neck to one side. Don't forget the cute sandals! You can add silk flowers (snagged from a vase) to your own with a scarf that drapes down the neck to one side. Don't forget the cute sandals! You can add silk flowers (snagged from a vase) to your own with a little hot glue or tie them on with wire. Tuck a big silk flower into your scarf. 2. Ujjwala Raut, Gucci Create this sleek urban look with your strappy sandals and a pencil skirt (or try one of the t-shirt skirts from our past issue). Top with a satin blazer or even a leather jacket. You can tie with ribbon or bungee cord or even rope. Add the new big sunglasses and you're ready to strut. 3. Dasha Tchernova, Miu Miu A variation on the menswear look. This sweater looks like it needs a fashion designer but you can recreate it by wearing a big cowlneck sweater under a low boat or scoopneck one. It's okay if they're flimsy materials, because they are layered. Again, the silk flower makes its way onto the shoulder. Add a flouncy skirt (it doesn't have to match!), the essential clutch, and oxfords. Finish with a fedora or a bucket hat. With all these looks, remember that you can experiment with color and shape and design. Also, don't be tied to exactly the same thing - use variation (and see this issue's section on how to try a magazine look). Remedy Page | rani's Home Copyright 2004 rani All rights reserved.
