Jill Stuart re-created her Fall show in Tokyo during the city s March fashion week. (Stuart is big enough in Japan to be thronged for post-show autographs.) But the designer didn t take home any Far Eastern references. For Resort, she stayed well within her comfort zone of short, girlish dresses in Laura Ashley-esque florals and fresh, vaguely Victorian white cottons—just the sort of thing that makes her a hit among kawaii-loving Japanese girls. Still, the only news here was the white denim with a seventies cut, a hint, we hear, of the designer s direction for Spring.
