Spring
’08 Fashion Flash Forward
“I have never known a really chic woman whose appearance
was not, in large part, an outward reflection of her inner
self.” – MAINBOCHER
Dear Fashion Aficionados:
While the national political climate has been trumpeting change and
nonpartisanship, the new Worth spring collection is, as usual,
ahead of the sartorial curve on both fronts. Balancing laid backed
and athletic with crisp and structured, the new collection
implements the latest runway trends while remaining true to its
origins of pure American classic sportswear. A modern approach that
is sure to be a frontrunner.
The Top Trends from Spring Runway
• Slick & Shiny: patent, metallic, sequins
• Overblown Playful Patterns: watercolor florals,
psychedelic graphics and patchwork
• Out of Africa: animal prints and ethnic designs
anchored with neutrals
• Layered Transparency: textured silk, chiffon, organza and
tulle
• Color: both high voltage and muted
• Waist Emphasis: everything is belted or has detail at the
natural waistline
• Monumental Heels, Wedges, Open-toe Booties and Gladiator
Sandals
• Oversized Clutches and Frame Bags
• Big Baubles: wooden, resin and Lucite cuffs, bangles,
necklaces and rings
• And a Big Dose of Confidence

And how has Worth translated these runway trends into reality for
your wardrobe? We offer three refreshing groups that will help you
incorporate up-to-the-moment fashion with simplicity and comfort
that fits your lifestyle.
First we’ve taken a relaxed silhouette in comfortable Italian
stretch cotton canvas and counterbalanced it with structured
jackets. These jackets are predominantly hip-length, but there are
also longer boardroom styles. Details such as architectural
seaming, double-entry pockets and mother of pearl buttons make
these jackets standouts. Some of our favorite are the wool/silk
glen plaid hipster jacket with a stand-up notched collar and
unexpected bell sleeves, a cross hatch egg-shaped jacket with
elliptical balloon sleeves, a cotton waffle pique biker jacket and
the intrinsic and polished glazed leather jacket with contrast pic
stitching.
Nature and its organic shapes, which can be transformed by the pull
of a bungee cord or the roll of a sleeve, inspired our second
group. Full-blown florals mix with the pretty and the earthy.
Windbreaker blowy cottons are paired with textured or metallic
glazed linens and tweeds to elevate down-to-earth fabrics to a
refined finish.
The traditional “Hepburn” blazer and the urban cargo
shacket are made from the finest Italian stretch tropical wool.
A"Marni” inspired exaggerated funnel neck bubble jacket is
made from “blowy” cotton poplin. The new
“Lombard” cropped pant, which has a flat front is also
made from this lightweight and crisp fabric. But one of our
favorite pieces is a dress that is the combination of a French
shirt with a crisp French skirt. With exaggerated pleats,
three-quarter sleeves and an elastic waist that can be belted, it
captures the best of vintage 70’s YSL.
Italian stretch tropical wool also serves as the base fabric of our
third group, but in classic ivory and black. The new
“Audrey”, double cotton flat front pant that tapers to
the heel, grounds and defines the slim bottom/voluminous top
silhouette that dominate this part of the collection. For starters
there’s an athletic-inspired jacket with a rounded sporty
shape that has covered snaps and sleeves finishing just below the
elbow. Another jacket is A-framed, also with three quarter sleeves,
but chunky lacquered buttons pop against ivory or black for
contrast. A laminated patent slicker and a jacquard dot sheath
dress with patent trim are statement pieces that lend retro
cool.

And, as always, there
are Worth’s sensuous and seasonless silk jersey, cotton
jersey, lightweight cashmere and ultra fine merino wool tanks and
tees to go under everything. We are also introducing mercerized
cotton that has been treated to bring out the luster and color
intensity of every piece. Your favorite pants:
“Charlotte”, “Gladys”, “Chloe”
and “Kiera” return in new fabrics and colors to go with
all the new jackets and toppers
So, you see, much is new at Worth, but quality, fashion and service
- the hallmark of everything Worth does – are reassuringly
the same. And that will surely get your vote every season.

Winter
’07 Fashion Flash Forward
Dear Fashion Aficionados:
As summer slowly fades into beautiful crisp days and colors the
landscape with a vibrancy of russets and reds, your wardrobe too,
must make the transition. From the looser silhouettes of summer
comes an about-face from practically every major designer to
silhouettes with a definitive attitude – well suited for the
urbane woman that we all are.
This is a silhouette driven season that heralds a seismic shift in
proportion for the near future. There is simply nothing kitschy
about this return to fitted retro chic rendered in modern cuts,
colors and fabrics. And Worth, of course, has interpreted the
runway in totally wearable, easy to understand pieces from
sophisticated and edgy to luxurious and down-to-earth.
EXQUISITELY SHAPED JACKETS: Jackets abound at Worth this season
with styles that are sure to suit everyone. Our top picks for
everyday are fitted hip-length blazers in wool flannel, boucles and
tweed. Worth signature leather is featured in motorcycle jackets,
shirt jackets, swing coast and belted military inspired metallic.
Adorable and easy swing jackets look updated in super soft stretch
flannels and an over-the-top leopard print. And longer jackets in
pinstripes have the unexpected touch of Lurex. The flannel bomber
is updated in a glen plaid and the ubiquitous anorak is fabulous in
satin gunmetal and bronze.

PANTS: This season
remains grounded with pants. It’s the combination of the
jacket and the pant that defines the look. The wide-leg and fluid
“Gladys” in a twill stripe, metallic plaid or velvet
looks confident and ultra glamorous when worn with belted,
hip-length jackets, fitted knits or a romantic blouse with
cascading ruffles. The more streamlined “Keira” and
“Jessica” in denim and tropical and flannel wools give
swingy jackets and coats their edge. And of course our tried and
true “Charlotte” returns in a sophisticated pin stripe
and solid gabardine.
SKIRTS: Peg Skirts dominate for day in tropical wool, colored denim
and metallic skin prints. For evening, the options are endless:
velvet flip skirts with a chiffon panel, chenille lace, dotted
jacquard and sparkle plaid slim skirts, and a flared crushed
taffeta skirt.

KNITS & BLOUSES:
Blouses are back in soft geometrics georgettes and traditional
cuffed shirting for day and plaid taffetas and crepe tuxedo
cutaways for evening. Knits are more streamlined and less chunky
for winter, and anchor the bold new silhouettes. Cashmere tees in
saturated colors such as cranapple, chilly blue and wild grape are
a luxurious staple. Wraps, belted A-lines, and walking coats in
either wool or cashmere make a statement all on their own and look
pulled together for casual Fridays or weekends.
COLORS: As a counterbalance to fall’s black, bittersweet and
heather gray, colors are either Bold: greenglow and solarium; Warm:
chestnut, moonstone and cranapple; or Regal: black cherry, chilly
blue, galaxy blue, purple shadow and wild grape.
What Items Should Be In Your Wardrobe This Upcoming Season?
❒ The Shoe: Platform Oxford, Patent Mary Jane, Bootie
❒ The Bag: Oversize Clutch or Structured Day Bag,
Skins
❒ New Pant: Wide & Fluid, Menswear-Inspired
❒ Suit: Pant or Peg Skirt/Fitted Jacket with an Unexpected
Evening Accent such as, Metallic, Velvet or Satin
❒ Knits: Chunky and Cozy Walking Coats; Longer A-line
Tunic
❒ Outerwear: Silk Anorak or Taffeta Puffer, Bomber, Wool
Trench

Fall
’07 Fashion Flash Forward
Dear
Fashion Aficionados:
The recent Fourth of July fireworks, although spectacular, were but
a flash in the pan compared to the upcoming 2007 Fall Fashion
– a celebration of the independent woman that’s sure to
endure. This season’s wardrobe staples are sophisticated,
architectural and well proportioned, exhibiting an evident shift in
shape that relies on black and gray to get its message across.
These new silhouettes are the beginning of a new mood that will
last for several seasons to come. So, now is the time to start
building some key pieces into your wardrobe.
This season Worth has merged classic fabrics with razor-sharp
technology to interpret these new shapes. While dresses are still
having their moment, and Worth offers many, pants ground the
collection. New jacket shapes and a plethora of knits give the fall
line a new focus.
• Jackets are longer, either fitted through the body or
textured and swingy, both styles sporting a soft shoulder. Short
jackets and textured bombers remain on the line as well in colors
like confetti, bluestar, flare and gecko with funnel necks and
bracelet sleeves.
• Pants go from narrow to fluid with the return of the
pleated trouser known as the “Amanda”. Menswear in
feel, this flattering triple-pleated pant sits on the waist with
the pleats starting under the hipbones leaving the front flat over
the tummy. On the other end of the spectrum, Worth introduces the
“Claire”, a flat-front, slim fit pant in a cotton
riding twill, and adds “Jessica” (the hit pant from
spring and summer) in single faced wool and wool twill. Other
favorites offered are: “Charlotte”, Chloe”,
“Gladys”, “Kiera”, and
“Melissa” all in new colors and fabrics.
• Textured Knits have volume, and distinctive new shapes.
Luxurious jacket-length jacquard cardigans and three-gauge circular
knit cashmere walking coats are worn as a replacement for a more
casual, two-piece look.

As usual, the design team outdid themselves with fabrics to die
for. Leather and suede, a Worth luxury staple, takes many shapes
for fall, i.e. the funnel neck jacket with brushed silver snaps or
the belted glazed leather jacket with oversized lapels and wide
cropped sleeves.
An over the top sumptuous shearling fringe shawl is THE luxury
piece to have. Other fabulous fabrics and treatments include domino
tweed with patent leather braiding, father-weight wool tartans and
quilted cotton twill with leather piping.

Not to be outdone by the larger fashion houses, Worth is debuting
its first-ever handbag collection. Made from exotic skins, these
structured handbags are lady-like and offer a shot of color.
Satchels, clutches and day and evening bags with chain straps are
being offered in addition to beautiful belts and bangles.
Worth has it all!
Fashion Pieces You Should Put on your Shopping List:
➢ Tote or Structured Bags in an Exotic Skin
➢ Ditto the Clutch
➢ Structured Jacket with a Funnel Neck and/or Barrel Shaped
Sleeves
➢ Menswear Trouser and Hi-Waist Jean
➢ Cozy Knit Walking Coat or Cape
➢ Chunky Cuffs and Eye-catching Cocktail Rings
➢ Oxford Shoe or “Bootie”
Fall 2007 opens July 9. Also, check out www.worthny.com to view the

Dear Fashion Aficionados:
Now that your closet is cleaned, organized and waiting for new
spring and summer clothes, we know you’re wondering if the
warm weather is ever going to arrive. We’re feeling
optimistic at Strategic Image Partners and believe winter weather
is literally in its last throes. And Worth, as many of you have
already seen, has lots of beautiful options just waiting to be
debuted.
For the summer line we’ve added lots of delicious saturated
colors like papaya, red reef, jungle leaf, daiquiri and water lily.
Optic white, navy and black stand in stark contrast for a very
pulled-together day look.
There are plenty of tailored hip-length and longer suit jackets in
silk matka, embroidered faille and cotton tweed, denim or corduroy.
Eye-catching details like pic stitching, preppy grosgrain stripes
on hems and cuffs and sweet (detachable) tromp loeil ribbon belts
add an understated interest.

These jackets look best with our soft, full skirts rendered in
chiffon or cotton voile or precise pencil skirts in lightweight
corduroy, striped cotton or stretch jacquard. And like every season
we are offering your favorite pant styles such as
“Thora” in beautiful washed stretch cotton brights as
well as a stretch linen; “Charlotte” and
“Gladys” in stretch cotton corduroy; and”
Chloe” in a stretch cotton stripe.
The new kid on the block is the totally casual cropped
“Ginger” in stretch cotton gingham.
Both Worth and Worthwear offer up a bevy of blouses and camp shirts
in the crispest cotton and linens. Diaphanous chiffon tops and
shells in a kaleidoscope of color for evening and weekend can take
an outfit from ho hum to fabulous. And of course we have your tried
and true tees and tanks some spiked in botanical florals or chain
prints.

Beautiful casual and not-so-casual dresses abound for every figure
to make summer dressing easy. Open stitch cotton hoodies, walking
shorts and cropped pants are in full supply for carefree weekend
looks.
What are some of the trends that can update your wardrobe?
♣ Dresses and tunics both for work and play

Spring ’07
Fashion Flash Forward
Dear Fashion Aficionado:
With nary a snowflake in sight, Worth is ready to celebrate Spring
2007 - and what a beautiful and wearable season it is. The runways
were full of truly elegant, sophisticated and easy separates that
translate into the multi-faceted life of today's woman. And as
usual, the Worth design team was right there with them.

The tailored, chic
American sportswear of which Worth has built its reputation, was at
the forefront of many designers' collections and stood out in stark
contrast to collections in recent past designed for leggy 16-year
olds. In its place were beautiful dresses in a multitude of shapes,
loose and lean pantsuits reminiscent of 40's screen legends and
silhouette-defining bottoms that ran the gamut from above-the-knee
slouchy shorts to floor grazing menswear trousers to stovepipes
that pool at the ankles.
Of course Worth captures all of these new pant looks introducing
the "Stella" full short; the "Gladys" and "Scarlett" wide-leg pant
and the "Keira" and "Melissa" narrower leg pant. And as always,
Worth brings back all the favorite pants styles that are in so many
of your wardrobes: the "Charlotte", "Shakira", and "Thora."

Like Fall '06,
layering is key, but instead of bulky cables, the layers are now
tissue-thin cashmere and t-shirting. Cotton and silk sweaters
return at Worth once again as a summer staple. And on the opposite
end of the spectrum, sharp suits in blended techno fibers marry the
crispness of lightweight tropical wool with the all-day comfort of
Lycra.
The overall silhouette has also loosened up a bit as well - jackets
are not quite as cropped and pants and skirts have more of an
insouciant volume and movement. In other words, you can breathe now
and even perhaps ingest a morsel of food.
As usual, Strategic Image Partners has narrowed down the trends for
you, and listed are our Top 10 Hits that will get you through the
season in the style you are known for and the put-together look you
have become accustomed.
The Top Ten Spring '07 Trends that No Wardrobe Should Be With
Out:
1. The Dress in all its Wonderful Incarnations
2. Menswear Suit with the New Longer Jacket
3. Tissue-thin, Thigh-Skimming Cotton & Cashmere Cardigan or a
Crochet Vest
4. "Pretty" Longer Lightweight Shirt or Tunic in Silk Organza,
Linen or Cotton Voile
5. AppliquÈ and "Guipor" Lace Cropped Jacket Worn as a
Separate
6. The Duster Worn over Pants or Worn Alone and Belted as a Shirt
Dress
7. The Knee-Length City Short Worn Casually or with a Jacket as a
Suit
8. Flats, Wedges and Wooden Heels
9. Oversized Bags and Clutches in Metallic, Patent and Mesh
10. Stacked Chunky Cuffs in Resin and Wood & Hermes-like belts
with High Polished Hardware
There is truly something for everyone in the Spring 2007 season.

Fall
’06 Fashion Flash Forward
Dear Fashion Aficionados:

We’re fresh from
the Worth runway show this past weekend and can hardly contain our
excitement; there were so many great pieces to give all our
wardrobes that boost of energy needed for fall in the City. We know
that sweaters, outerwear and boots are the last thing on your mind
when you haven’t even had your summer vacation yet. However,
we’re here to do the thinking for you, so you can go to the
beach knowing you won’t miss out on a single fall fashion
trend.
The 10 key trends for your Fall and Winter wardrobe:
1. The New Pants: Skinny (including Leggings) or Slouchy &
Full
2. Longer Jackets & Tunics
3. Layered Knits
4. Capes
5. Fur, Fur & More Fur
6. Baroque Velvets, Lace, Brocade
7. Tartan & Plaid
8. Empire Dresses & Balloon Skirts
9. Patterned & Opaque Tights
10. Metallics
The BIGGEST NEWS this fall is the new proportion: skinny
on the bottom, volume on the top, seen to its full affect on the
Balenciaga runway. This silhouette change is most obvious with
pants where the shape has changed dramatically. What’s
happening is the low-rise bell-bottom is taking a back seat to the
skinnier, higher waist pant. This year Worth introduces the
“Melissa” in denim and light weight wool with a
slightly higher rise than “Shakira” and a very straight
leg that looks great tucked into boots or hitting long over heels
or flats. This pant looks best when worn as a suit with a long
jacket or more casually with a luxurious knit or suede tunic on
top.

The other major
silhouette is the slouchy, borrowed-from-the-boys looks of roomy
trousers, blazers and cardigans. Worth’s “Gladys”
pant fills this role in spades. Flat front, with a side zipper and
fluid from hip to ankle, this pant is always office appropriate
when worn with a pretty blouse or a luxe belt, bag or boot. Worth
is about making all of us look our best, so if neither of these
styles are for you, remember that Worth continues to offer classic
favorites like “Thora”, “Chloe”,
“Scarlett”, and “Charlotte” in new colors
and fabrics.
Cozy, enveloping knits were all over the runway this season from
Ralph Lauren to Hermes to yes, Worth. Layered and belted, they
looked fantastic over pants, leggings, skirts and dresses. The
sweater is the ultimate transition piece in September and October
and can be worn over summer dresses paired with tights, or worn in
place of a blazer with skirts and pants. Worth showed the most
luxurious cashmeres, wools, cottons and silk/cotton blends in every
silhouette from a knee-length, toggle-closure to cable one-shoulder
tanks, capped sleeves and turtlenecks.
Other great transitional pieces are the cape, the traditional
British trench, and of course our lightweight, luxurious leathers
and suedes sourced from the finest Italian mills. These pieces, as
well as blazers, are sporting military details like stand-up
collars, breast pockets and epaulets. Skirts, also the perfect
transitional item, shared the common thread of movement. Whether
knee length or mid-calf, whether cotton crochets, wool, taffeta, or
plaid, they were fluid and slightly flared to slim, but not
restrict the body. They looked fantastic with knee-high and ankle
boots.
The unexpected mix of daytime tweed with nighttime velvet, brocade
and lace were another subtle trend shown on the Worth runway. Look
for gold thread woven into boucle, chiffon peaking from panels of
our trumpet skirt, and the less subtle, but wear-with-everything
quilted linen coat in 18-karat gold. And of course, don’t
forget the ultimate luxury: fur cuffs and wraps added to
utilitarian sweaters and coats.

Runway to
Worthway

Spring ’06
Fashion Flash Forward
Hello Fellow Fashion Aficionados!
Finally, spring has arrived and with it a whole new crop of
wearable clothes for real women, with real jobs and real schedules
to juggle. This season it’s not about color – unless
you’re thinking white – but new silhouettes, especially
when it comes to showing off the waistline or mixing it up with
pants.
If you haven’t noticed, there are more pants styles out there
than there are OPI nail colors. It’s all about proportion.
Gone are the requisite bum-hugging jeans worn with the tank and the
pointed toe sandal (and looking best on all those GIRLS out there
5’11” and 110 lbs), and in its place are a variety of
silhouettes that will make even the most self-conscious of us feel
hip enough to hit Bette’s on a Thursday night.

Your choices range
from wide leg Hepburn trousers worn with a menswear shirt adorned
with pretty tucking or ruffles and a sharp jacket; or cropped wide
legs trousers worn with the equally cropped and
cinched-at-the-waist jacket, or the long lean cigarette pant or
jean (there may be a smoking ban, but this style is legal and
smokin’). And you don’t have to be tall or particularly
thin to pull this off, just wear them with something slightly
billowy on top, (once again, a great jacket can pull this look
together) to balance out proportions. Just remember that flats make
this look more street worthy than streetwalker, but a heel can look
great for evenings out.
Now it is also time to put away those flowers and pull out your
scarves. Everyone is wearing scarves and in many new ways, whether
as a halter, headscarf, belt or neckerchief, they are the new old
trend. Scarves worn as halters note that bare is in for summer.
Shoulders are shown everywhere. Whether it is a cutaway, tank,
blouse or bustier, shoulders are on display. You can download the
5mb file by clicking here: http://www.strategicimagepartners.com/scarftying.pdf
And then there are shorts. Now, don’t hit the delete button.
We’re serious that almost everybody can pull this off. You
just have to know which shorts work for your figure and which
shorts are appropriate for what occasion. Shorts at the knee or a
little below (skirt length) can be worn with a short jacket as a
suit. Remember to apply the same rules that you would a skirt if
you’re wearing them in a professional setting. Wear them in
work-appropriate fabrics and pair them with low or mid-heeled
pumps, either pointed or the more updated (and comfortable) round
toe, and a blouse, shell, or sweater set. When wearing casually on
the weekends, shorts can be long or short in linen and cotton and
worn with flats or wedges and a tank and a casual jacket. If you
have good legs, you can get away with the shorter, slouchy
versions, which look really great with a tucked-in blouse, the
sleeves rolled up, and chunky heels.
Another key silhouette change is the waistline.
Shirt dresses and full skirts capitalize on this trend best,
especially when cinched with a belt in a medium or wide width.
Cropped jackets show off the waistline as well, especially when
worn with the new higher waist pant.
Although the big news isn’t color, there are colors that are
making a strong showing this season. Head-to-toe white, as we
mentioned earlier, as well as chocolate worn with white or with a
pop of color. Neutrals – a trend that continues from last
spring – are still big and very sophisticated. And believe it
or not, the directional look is navy worn with black – a
trend that should carry into fall. Natural accessories made with
raffia and wood still look fresh, as well as really long necklaces,
a couple at a time, but not too many. Bags are either luggage-sized
or miniature and look new in straw with contrasting fabric or
printed botanicals. Shoes are either vertiginous heels or fabulous
flats and have been updated with a softer toe. And the wedge, both
dressy and casual, looks great with longer skirts and cropped pants
and offers a comfortable alternative to the heel. Metallic plays a
key role again both in handbags and shoes. However, wear one piece
at a time to avoid the Solid Gold Dancer look. And remember, our
motto is, gold can be a neutral. It will look great with your tan
this summer.
Top
10 Items on your Spring/Summer “Open to Buy”
1. An updated suit
preferably with the new shorter jacket
2. Crisp, white blouse with a special detail like pleats or Swiss
dot
3. A fabulous just-below-the knee trench to be worn with
everything
4. A dress that can go from office to cocktails. There’s a
silhouette this year for every figure.
5. Walking shorts for the weekend or to be worn with a jacket and
heels for casual Fridays
6. Straight leg to-the-ankle pant or jean
7. Round-toed flats – looks good with everything
8. Wedges in a neutral color. Perhaps burnished gold with
raffia?
9. Oversized, slouchy handbag in straw, printed botanical (a la
Gucci) or white
10. And a great “fake” tan and a dazzling smile
