Trend: Check Points
Hail to the houndstooth. Designers punched up the fall runways with graphic checks.
June 2009
The fall catwalks offered houndstooth aplenty, but ho-hum haberdashery
this was not. Rather, the patterns came oversize, vivid and
oh-so-audacious. Consider Alexander McQueen’s stunning lineup, with its
series of witty variations on the classic weave, some even drizzled with
Pollock-like scribbles. More romantic types can look to the ladylike
versions at Moschino and Bensoni, while sportif sorts should hit up
Stella McCartney for a little jagged edge. Check, please.
