DALLAS, Aug 17, 2006/ FW/ --- Still in mid-August, schools have already started here in the U.S. and the budding hallway fashionistas have not even begun to show their colors for fall.

With the cooler weather just around the corner, expect these young fashion followers to search for their perfect style for the school term, and don’t be surprise if they choose C’N’C Costume National.

A young and easy chic line, Ennio Capasa’s 'C'N'C Costume National' overlaps and mixes the traditional with the contemporary in a dress up and dress down fashion, exactly the way the internet generation dresses.

From multi-layered garments of shift & tank dresses, to vintage jeans & wide legged trousers, to leather biker jackets and hooded parkas, it is a collection for the free spirited and streetwise energetic.

Turtleneck cable knit sweaters, silk-screened tees layered with a vest and jacket, structured trench coats worn with wide fabric belts, bustier-inspired tops and deep V-neck blouses, it is a mix & match, layer at will, so that the wearer can define her own style.

Laced up mid-calf boots, totes with the chrome C’N’C logo, messenger bags that can easily be turned into a backpack, there is a clear path to individuality while being still a part of the group.

Designing for the awkward age of puberty, when peer pressure is heavy and the need to conform is great, a designer has to have his finger on the pulse of his target clientele.

Ennio Capasa found that pulse and created a C’N’C wardrobe that moves, breathes and becomes part of your skin.

And the best thing about this collection, it makes adolescents feel that they are adults, and make adults feel that they are young once again. Because truth be known, the collection can actually be worn from 14 – 34 age group.
