[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] Mere mortals have just finished hauling out the summer clothes, but in the rarefied fashion realm, fall 2014 is already old news. St. Louis fashionistas got a glimpse of those fall trends last month, during a Fashion Group International screening of the couture runway shows. To be expected, some of the styles (a coat of feathers?) might not find an audience in the Gateway City, but plenty of the 2014 coolweather collection will. You’ll recognize many old faves—like plaids, fuller pants and long skirts. Totally new, however, is a big emphasis on outerwear. I’m not sure how to interpret this, but I think it means we’re supposed to purchase multiple coats. While I personally have never had a ‘coat wardrobe,’ I do know people who collect coats like they do scarves. Whether or not you’re going to embrace this notion, prepare to be tempted. And I understand bigger is better. (I guess I should have kept those ankle-length coats from the ’80s just a little longer.) In the shoe department, short booties are the next big thing. And in purses, rumor has it, the clutch rules, even though it is possibly the most inconvenient handbag, right after the Judith Leiber minaudière (which doesn’t really count, since it’s strictly for evening). As for colors, Neiman Marcus has named gray the new black (even though the old black will never go out of style). And knitwear is big in all categories. I guess that means we can expect to see plenty of knitted, floor-length coats. In gray plaid? —Dorothy F. Weiner Editor in Chief
