Andererseits die Formulierung "make them feel just happening enough" - sehr groß.
Back in the 1960's, it was the peace movement. Now it is the piece movement that's influencing fashion.
For fall, shoppers are most likely to do one of two things. They'll either invest in something over the top -- a farm in St. Moritz and a brown Fendi crocodile coat with sable collar, say -- or more likely, after careful consideration of the collections, choose 5 to 10 great pieces that will bring luster to their existing wardrobes and make them feel just happening enough -- from office to dinner and back home again -- to appear positively savvy.
Sure, there are trends and ideas (orange is the new black; fur is the new cashmere), moods (1960's futurism a la Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin) and inspirations (''Chicago,'' for its neo-deco flapper style, and ''The Matrix,'' for its racing-edge leather). But the democratic way of fashion today is: no edicts. Think high; think low. Dress as you like -- just dress. Fashion is new clothes; style is how you put the pieces together.
