The four strongest presentations came from Isaac Mizrahi, Andrew Fezza, Lance Karesh for Basco and Roger Forsythe for Perry Ellis. They showed clothing that was clearly geared toward the man of the '90s — one who is more fashion-conscious than ever. "I think at the end of the 1990s, there will be a fashion explosion," Mizrahi said after presenting his third menswear collection. "Men will dress more like women and women more like men." Mizrahi says in the coming years men will take an increasing inter- est in what they wear while women will streamline their fashion prior- ities. Designers also opted for roomy jackets — especially those modeled from shirts. They liked collarless shirts that can be worn over tees and loosely-woven mesh sweaters and striped shorts. FOCUS Magazine Pnotograph/Peoecco Frischcan Another common thread in the collections was the presence of basic white.

The Mizrahi touch took the traditional pea coat and transfor- med it into a roomy, rayon car coat. He created short leather jackets that were cut like the iconic denim jeans jacket. Mizrahi kept his pallette simple, concentrating on brown, cream and gray grounded with black. For color, he showed pastel ties with matching shirts and mix-matched warm-weather plaids with ging- ham and stripes.
