An articlein The Wall Street Journal recently notedthat "shoppers are looking for clothes thatare crafted and timeless enough to last morethan a season." The popularity of "MadMen" and other retro shows and movieshave spurred a resurgence and love for theclassics, with many of the looks and stylesreminiscent of such legendary designers asYves St. Laurent, Armani, Hermes, ChristianDior, Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, and theholy grail of timeless chic, Coco Chanel.
