The Row: A Feeling for Now First there was the clear view through the windows, looking over an ice-blue sky and the Manhattan cityscape. Then came the clothes – streamlined, but in a gentle way, so that they were shaped to the body without constricting it.  A typical item might be a white suit, the skirt falling gently to mid-calf, a loose cape of a coat, and the flat slippers that were a significant part of this decent and woman-friendly look. Modernity is so tough to define, but The Row, and the sisters behind the label – Ashley and Mary-Kate – come close to it: models with sweet faces and an air of natural elegance, as they cuddle into an oversized wool sweater or clutch a bag close to the chest.  The other key word is ‘respect’. Not even a hint of vulgarity suggested by a slit skirt or a plunging neckline. After The Row’s designer departed for Hermès last year, the new collection might have been a disappointment. But the opposite was true of this fine show. (责任编辑：admin) |
