Jill Stuart seems to have found a show format she s comfortable with and she stuck with it for fall, opening—as she did last season—with a well-tailored coat and closing with a bias-cut gown. Spring s emphasis on lingerie gave way to a lot of tweed, as well as a series of riding-style looks—tight jackets with a Victorian-Russian flavor, worn with cigarette-slim pants. Among the designer s signature vintage-inspired looks were a multitude of pretty dresses, like a tiered, silver lace piece worn by Luca Gadjus and several delicate chiffon dresses beaded in a simple starburst pattern.
