Tyler, Anna Sui, Pierrot

Richard Tyler included silk car­go pants in his Tyler collection, a recently established secondary line that aims to attract a broader range of customers. At Anna Sui and Pierrot, the designers tapped into sports such as tennis and golf for their ready-to-wear collections. Sui gave tennis skirts the polish of a kilt, appliqued images of golf greens onto day dresses and paired a sequined football jersey with a skirt. The effect was full of charm and wit.

And Pierre Carrilero, who de signs under the label Pierrot, punctuated his collection of knits with references to tennis togs as seen through the eyes of a Florida retirее with an insatiable passion for terry cloth, crochet and caftans.
