| Summary: | In this issue of Videofashion, Michael Vollbracht of Bill Blass hits a home run with his Fall/Winter collection, looking to the great American designers - Norman Norell, Halston and, of course, Bill Blass - for inspiration. Using NASA technology at Undercover Jun Takahashi presents his most commercial collections to date: a fresh take on sportswear with no assembly required. New York opened its arms to Milan's Alberta Ferretti - she showed her Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti line here. Militaristic references prevail at English label Aquascutum as the design duo look to toy soldiers for inspiration. Influenced by her predominately gray palette, the Costello Tagliapietra winter collection captures a moody edginess, and is referenced by the 1920s portrait artist Romaine Brooks. At Basso & Brooke, the design duo always expertly blends historical silhouettes with technologically advanced fabric and prints. Erdem blends an airy idea of romance with a dash of punk rock chic. Plus, there's a hint of the '60s at Jill Stuart!
