Spring Beauties

Sat., March 4, 2000

Chanel’s winter ready-to-wear collection was a triumph Friday for bright young things - and even for the not so young. One original idea was the versatile use of new green denim - especially in voluminous short skirts, shirred at the hip and quilted at the hem. Sexier, brighter clothes came on towards the end, with red leather minidresses and high boots, a long skirt unzipped at the side, a ruffled, furry pullover for leather pants. Shown above is a green belted decolette dress with armbands designed by British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
