The Red and the Black.

You know about black.

Authority, power, plus a little danger.

Red is the color of emotion.

Intense.

Put them together and they're the well-known colors of anarchy.

Always welcome for the holidays.

Turkey again?

You have got to be kidding.

Black Tuxedo Vest (No. 2545). The fabric comes from a well-known mill in Italy. A mixture of fine yarns that men have appropriated for themselves. Also got that man's tuxedo power thing going too. Fitted button front with rounded collar lined in rayon. 6 self-covered buttons. Those two front darts will give you a precise fit. Adjustable sliding back belt with a silver colored metal buckle. Because I know you appreciate such touches. When the holidays are over, you'll just throw this over a shirt with jeans and boots.

Women's sizes: 2 through 16. Imported.

Color: Black.

Red and Black Taffeta Skirt (No. 2485). Plaid sportiness meets Taffeta's dressiness in a slightly anarchistic union. Like all unexpected relationships, when it works, it works.

Secret here, amidst the many small secrets, is our old friend the bias cut that does great things with shape. Lower calf length. Black cotton lining. Lots of dramatic details. Back is slightly longer than the front. It's full enough to flair when you feel like dancing. You'll lead. (As usual.)

Women's sizes: 2 through 16. Imported.

Color: Red and Black Plaid.
