Women's Fashion Turns to Menswear for Tips

              Women's Fashion Turns to Menswear for Tips

THIS SEPTEMBER, during New York fashion week, boutique owner Laure Heriard Dubreuil was at the opening of an exhibition of fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh's work. As she toured the show, she noticed that she and her companions—blogger Garance Doré and jewelry designer Aurélie Bidermann—all had something in common with his images. "We were looking at his photos from the '90s of supermodels wearing nothing but men's shirting," said Ms. Heriard Dubreuil, whose Miami store is called the Webster, "and the three of us looked at each other and laughed when we realized we were all wearing white men's shirts too." Ms. Heriard Dubreuil added, "During fashion week, everyone looks like a peacock. And there we were wanting something so basic."
