DRESSED OR UNDRESSED? A FUN TIMES GUIDE TO SPRING07 DRESSES

PART 2
JERSEY


Here is a little bit of history for yalls:
A little known designer by the name of Coco Chanel began making her garments in jersey in the early 1920’s. A French fabric manufacturer, Rodier, introduced Chanel to this unpopular textile. A fabric that was once for underwear had now been transformed into daywear thanks to her revolutionary way of thinking. One of the first items made from jersey was a chic and simple tunic that fell just above the ankle. This was consistent with Chanel: a simple look that she advocated on herself. Jersey is still as popular now as it was then. The fabric is soft, the price is affordable (depending on the store) and it fits your curves nicely. Jersey is BIG this year in spring dresses. From Gucci (right) to Bill Blass, Jersey was everywhere on the runways for Spring. If only Chanel were still alive today. Chances are, with her vibrant I-don’t-care-what-yalls-think-because-I-am-cool-and-still-80-
years-later-you-all-copy-my-style-will you-ever-get-over-me

attitude, she would be saying: “I so told you so!”
