San Francisco Fashion Week '04: Saffron Rare Threads

Suits and other tailored looks dominated the Saffron Rare Threads show, which included long coats, pants in cropped and longer lengths, and skirts and dresses. Colors ranged from somber chocolate, olive and charcoal earth tones to lights and brights, including red, white, lavender and butter yellow. Suit jackets were fitted, and skirts had inverted box pleats. A diagonalstripe print turned up in skirts and dresses and as a burst of color accessorizing suits. —Alison N. Nieder
