Several spring looks are constructed of thin bands of material sewn together horizontally, like belts, that can be adjusted. "I think the idea of self-tailoring is very modern," says Posen. "I want to embrace the creativity of people. Besides, all women fuss with their clothes." His pattern-making skill is almost mathematical, fitting flat geometric shapes to moving form. "My clothes are supportive...

Stone washed, distressed, low rise, sanded, boiled, whiskered, shredded, patched, relaxed fit, straight leg, boot leg, flare or with personally customized finish? The notion that jeans are the color they have faded to is passe. At the Gap they have run from "blasted bluegrass" to "moonlight."
