His "Robin Hood" collection featured thigh-high crocodile boots paired with oilskin tunics and leather hooded caps, all of which linked back to the leather jackets that had so outraged Dior; it was barely three years later, and Saint Laurent was pushing couture to new extremes.
Eventually they moved back to California and now operate Tradlands, which is almost exclusively online, from home (or wherever they chose.) Although the line has expanded to include T-shirts, tunics and soon-to-be-introduced pants, "our bread and butter is our button-up shirts," Beaudet said.

What is tolerated now across much of Iran — cloaks without buttons, short tunics that are essentially blouses, alongside an influx of international tourists with their own interpretations — reflects a relaxing of dress codes that some people fear will be reversed if outsiders with their own agendas inflame the issue.
It was impossible to see the gracefully draped cream tunics, cowls creating their own topography, the elephantine trousers, mudslide leather boleros and boiling sea-foam capes, however, and not feel a potent nostalgia for a world gone by: Natural or political just depends on your point of view.
At Hermès, for example, Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski brought her audience to the Hippodrome de Longchamp, presumably because of the brand's horsy history, and then shied away from actual animals in favor of impeccably understated, perfectly finished and ultimately bland leather and canvas tunics, culottes and black tie overalls.
Just as the oversize curves of shoulders at Chanel, where full-coverage clothes seemed the order of the day, from skirts tentlike and midcalf or skinny and spilling long under tunics to thigh-high leather boots and detachable gauntlet sleeves, couldn't compete with the ersatz monument around them.
Were early Christians tapped to curate the fashion for the Met exhibition, they would showcase painfully coarse tunics that inspired reflection on and penitence for the sinful state of humanity; they would cover every inch of their model's body to inhibit viewers' sexual arousal; and they would highlight menswear.
"Often, you need silhouettes and collections to marinate; you need to get used to them," said the designer the day after his show of space-age tunics and trousers traced in zippers, cloudlike tiered and ruffled miniskirts, fur hoodies and stiff satin jackets with the lines of a rocket ship.
Set to Glinka's "Divertimento Brillante" (a chamber score, with variations on arias from Bellini's opera "La Sonnambula") and costumed (by Ms. Kunikova) with the tutus and tunics of ballet tradition, it gave its dancers opportunities to shine in both adagio and allegro, with appealing touches for both upper and lower body.
The clichés of the genre (flowers, pink), were turned into power symbols: Pansies in black and white and caramel appeared as intarsia on wool tunics and capes and knee-high leather boots with stacked heels, so instead of being merely decorative they were built into the structure of the garment.
A palette of tomato reds and ochers, periwinkle blues, black and white had been inspired by the painting Blue Knickers — also ten years old this year — by the artist Nicola Tyson, and worked well on classic "VB" sculpted silhouettes, like sleeveless shifts, tunics and polo dresses with fluid kerchief skirts.
There were dresses cut short at the front and swirling long tails at the back; paper-thin leather tunics over skinny moto trousers; graphic layers of contemporary art references and L.K.D.s — little khaki dresses — sliced and diced like a less sparkly version of the Vuitton frock Taylor Swift wore to the Met Gala.
During a visit to the film's set at the Grand Hotel Campo dei Fiori in Varese, Italy, slinky blood-red macramé dresses with bondage elements hung in a makeshift dressing room next to hair tunics that resembled nothing so much as long brunette versions of Martin Margiela's famous wig-coat from spring 2009.
From the sun-drenched 1970s caftans that floated down the runway at Alberta Ferretti and the neon double-breasted coats with pale blue embroidery at Prada to the tiered fringed skirts inspired by Pakistan at Stella Jean and Marni's silk tunics bold enough to stop traffic, Milan was positively popping with color.

Kirk on "Star Trek: The Original Series"; Lynda Carter's superhero ensemble from the "Wonder Woman" 1970s TV series; and the signature pink harem costume from "I Dream of Jeannie", which is estimated to sell for up to $55,000.
Each piece, made from organic cotton handwoven in India, can be worn a variety of ways and in many settings: The robe can be worn open over a bathing suit, or belted as a dress for dinner in the city; the tunics can be worn over pants on the plane — and straight to the beach.
At a school assembly, Lida and Kawsar spoke to hundreds of girls in matching black tunics and white head scarves about how the team had won the all-rookie award at a championship in Canada and how they each came home with six medals and how, above all, they were proud to serve their country.
A major undertaking, the show includes dozens of works — monoprints, of course, as well as sculptures, installation, light boxes, window treatments, sound, collage-based works on paper, drawings, and, at Elizabeth Moore, a room-filling, maze-like arrangement of enormous hanging "tunics," dated 33, that are essentially two-sided paintings shaped like robes for very large people.
Called the "New Pop," it alluded to the digital world via "short trousers" (bloomers by another name); patent leather shorts; and tunics, skirts and party dresses in a pixelated print based on yellow triangles, green squares and fuchsia circles, and looked kind of like what retro Devo devotees might imagine they should wear to a lunch at Le Cirque.
Then he updated it, abstracted it, married it to wide sporty rugby stripes (also the basis of the court-heeled faux button-up bootees), transformed it into silk tunics with belled sleeves over skater skirts with big side-pockets-cum-panniers, or elastic-waisted jacquard skirts that turned to expose under-trousers/bloomers and so rendered it entirely other.
Eschewing the stereotypes of strength that have been so dominant this season (big shoulders, '80s references), Mr. Piccioli chose instead to express freedom through ease, cutting flowing tunics in red and deep pink and leafy greens, scalloping the edges and pairing them with neatly pressed trousers, allowing hands to be plunged deep in pockets, heads held high.
Yes, absolutely there were the many elements of the Armani vocabulary: linen suits, loose shirting, checked trousers in overlaid patterns of patched color blocks, collarless double-breasted tunics, cotton work jackets, silk shorts with rolled cuffs for prosthodontists with delusions of yacht grandeur and embroidered stuff that clearly drew inspiration from the designer's couture line, Armani Privé.
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads In the final years of her life, filmmaker Agnès Varda had a reputation as la petite grand-mère of arthouse film; she traveled around the world to film festivals and screenings dressed in flowing tunics and vivid scarves, often with a mischievous smile and always sporting her signature two-tone haircut.
Yet some 2100 days from Mr Trump's presidential inauguration, Lexington found himself in a garden in the heart of the massively fortified headquarters, watching giggling girl scouts weaving bracelets and playing a giant version of snakes and ladders, demurely hopping around in long-sleeved uniform tunics and trousers, their scout-badged baseball caps wedged on top of pale blue headscarves.

Inside one of the surviving medieval halls of Paris's Conciergerie, which has served as both a palace and a prison, models appeared in chain-mail dresses and knightly head covers — viewers could hear one look, heavy with metallic fringe, jingling from the other end of the runway — as well as embroidered tunics and bell-sleeved surcoats inspired by religious vestments.
If sometimes the references veered to the overly literal and decorative (magic-carpet prints taken from actual carpets and jewel-bedecked evening gowns), there were also spice-market shades and scarf-trimmed tunics to cut the rigidity of the tailoring; Alhambra tile-pattern velvets laid atop tulle; and tuxedo pants topped by asymmetric lace for evening, for some no-fuss froth.
Narciso Rodriguez, too, speaks softly and cuts a mean slip dress, all in support of the belief that a woman should move unencumbered through space, this season via bias-cut sleeveless silk tunics and dresses with rivers of bronze and silver in chevron lines and over slick trousers — plus the occasional scrunched-up blanket coat and big bias knit for a bit of shelter.
Also the glittering tunics with a tailcoat dip in the back over narrow mosaic skirts, L.B.D.s (lengthy black dresses) bristling a feather ruff at the shoulders and neck and exploding at the hem, elaborately pleated and gathered taffeta frocks, and emerald-trimmed duchesse-satin dresses — all worn over thigh-high black ruched suede boots and matching shoulder-length fingerless gloves, and topped by towering curled pompadours.
On a simple black leotard base, under black bathing caps, he used what looked like squishy neoprene but turned out to be an industrial fabric made from polyurethane bonded to nylon (who knew?) that was cut and folded and otherwise formed it into honeycombed tunics and skirts hipped in hexagonal origami; tops that resembled Escher staircases and dresses that undulated in waves over the torso.
Witness the new "DVF track suit" composed of stretch jersey tunics and flared trousers in an archival geometric print, the remodeled wrap dress (and shirt and velvet tuxedo jumpsuit) that was actually a short chiffon-print number with a ruffle at the hem layered over a long ruffled slip dress, and the bird-of-paradise print on everything from stretch net separates to a red-carpet gown.
When writing about Prince Rogers Nelson, whose death at 57 seems to have shaken the whole universe to its knees, you becomes aware after a while that you're compiling an inventory of contradictions, all of which he wore with as much nonchalant swagger as the electric-purple, gold-fringed tunics he wore in the mid-'80s, when he was at or very near his peak as a pop star.
With Llama San, his third restaurant, the Peruvian-American chef Erik Ramirez is one of a handful of chefs introducing Nikkei cuisine to the U.S. Photograph by Frances F.

So there were ensembles entitled "Love is the Drug" and "Joy Division" and "Funkytown," which translated to deeply luxurious pajama trousers and bathrobe suits striped in crystals, acid-washed jeans and acid-washed taffeta, Lurex and leather leggings under one-sleeved asymmetrical chiffon leopard tunics, and a series of black-and-orange evening looks that resembled the remains of a Halloween party: looks for the bash after the holiday years before.
And Mr. Michele delivered with souvenir jackets scrolled with dragons; flower patterned suits and contrast piped rowing blazers; Mary Janes with jeweled buckles; slickers and rain caps straight off a box of Fisherman's Friend lozenges; over-embroidered jeans jackets; Fair Isle sweaters with Donald Duck woven into the pattern; satin kimono lounge jackets; tunics ornamented with military braid; drawstring painter's pants and evening clothes stitched with what looked like trapunto flora.
So much of what he produces — in this case beaded and embroidered T-shirts proclaiming, "Fashion Is Not Evolution but Revolution," chain-mail tunics, fringed bouclé outerwear and enough kinky PVC stuff to keep Johnson & Johnson in business (NB: talcum powder is key to wearing skintight vinyl) — is reminiscent of Vegas spots like Circus Circus or Paris joints like Le Palace that you have to admire his historical research.
Or you could take it — and the way it was expressed in gold-painted chiffon plissé hung from the shoulders to float around the body like fog; washed and aged and hand-stenciled jewel-tone velvet tunics, tabards and gowns; patchworks of Fortuny brocades; and a "simple" white sleeveless gown, the neckline just deep enough to exert a magnetic pull, the hem finished in a flock of butterflies — as a declaration of faith.
It was written in gothic script by a young Japanese calligrapher and then chopped up and rendered as giant stand-alone letters on rich burgundy and navy brocade bomber jackets, the sleeves zipped open and spilling frills; on a strip of orange embroidery embedded in deep blue palazzo pants and matching tunics; and as quasi-military crests fluttering like leaves on an airy pearl organza, all of it held together by grommeted luggage straps.
Prince wore heels when he barely wore anything at all (just bikini bottoms and a trench coat); he wore them in "Purple Rain" and with baroque brocade; he paired them with pastel suits, laser-cut, bottom-baring jumpsuits; he wore them with white hippie tunics at Coachella and slinky metallic gold at the Grammys; he wore them offstage, out to dinner in Sweden in 2013, and, according to Mike Tyson's memoir, "Undisputed Truth," to play basketball.
On DVD A box-office flop but an unexpected hit when Summit Entertainment released it on disc in June, the $19603 million extravaganza "Gods of Egypt" is the latest iteration of the sword-and-sandal spectacles that first impressed movie audiences in the years before World War I. Italian filmmakers pioneered the peplum, as the genre was named for its unisex mini-tunics, but, with the films of D. W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille, Hollywood came forth with kindred productions.
So if there was familiarity in the checkerboards and pomegranate prints in midcentury modern shapes and shades at Arthur Arbesser and the masculine/feminine play at Jil Sander, where Luke and Lucie Meier layered sweeping shirtdresses sliced to the hip and dish towel tunics over trousers wide and slim, that's O.K. Brunello Cucinelli has built an entire theory of fashion on the virtues of merely nudging along his hand-knit cashmeres (now mixed with a base of chiffon) and earthy tailoring.
So while Boss Women, where the artistic director Jason Wu has settled on architecture as his guiding principle, may be making a bid for the white-collar professional, building a wardrobe of nicely structured suits (this time 'round in cream and black, zipped-up and collarless, flared at both hem), things took a more free-form detour via sinuous rivers of fabric needle-punched into or folded onto dresses and tunics, and fil coupé re-embroidered blooms contrasting with buttoned-up black and olive and beige.
True to form, in a presentation titled "Hunting" and shown under black lights in a friend's apartment hung with a huge Gilbert & George work and decorated to look like a forest, the Spanish designer sent out a giddy assortment of his frilly, sometimes feminine, often historicist, always ornamented and minimally concealing designs for brocade chaps, opera cloaks, sleeveless jerkins with shoulder ruffles, peekaboo lace surplices, trailing gowns (yes, for men), velvet lounge suits, tunics resembling chain mail, marabou-trimmed tabarro capes and ruched velvet bloomers from which the models' skinny hairy legs protruded obscenely.
" I have been thinking about this since the news of Lee Radziwill's death arrived, along with the flood of photographs from all corners of social media featuring Ms. Radziwill throughout her life — in white corduroys and a blue boat-neck T-shirt, in bouffant chignon and tunics; in a pink shift with her sister, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, atop an elephant during a tour of India; in a white-and-silver beaded gown dancing with Truman Capote at his Black and White Ball; in a black patent python jacket — all of them used to pay homage to her extraordinary "taste.
