I became an 503-year-old whiz on the topic of chiffon scarves, peplums, pancake makeup and the dating rituals of bobby-sox wearers (granted, a strange preoccupation in the late 1960s).

"Talk to me about gender in another two weeks," Mr. Wooster said before walking a reporter through his latest collection, which, while it subjected traditional Italian tailoring to a certain feminization — peplums, twin sets, bouclé knits from the mill that produces Chanel woolens — hardly tested the limits of what constitutes masculine attire.

"With a twist" might usually conjure up visions of frosty gin-based cocktails, but this fall, thanks to J.Crew, the phrase takes on a meaning that's a bit less potable: the brand's classic blazers, jazzed up with thrilling details, such as colorful threading against luxe menswear-inspired fabrics, pleated peplums, and secret pockets for toting around lipstick and/or snack packs of pistachios.

Even Giorgio Armani, in a return to classic form, focused his Armani Privé collection on a simplified palette of lustrous black velvet (a theme of his fall ready-to-wear collection, titled "Black Velvet") paired with the palest pink, peach and glacial blue houndstooth cady collarless jackets and slim trousers, crystal tops, and the occasional feathered wrap, but tucked in a series of voluminous harem pants and poufs of peplums amid all the understatement: pasha black tie.

A related trend in 2011 and 2012 is the asymmetric peplum hem on shirts, sweaters and jackets for women. The peplum, a broad ruffled hem that is fitted at the waist and flares outward, has been a recurring fashion trend in Europe for centuries, and was last popular in Europe and North America during the 1940s and 1950s. An asymmetric version has been brought to women's fashion in 2012, but not all consumers find it flattering, with one American stating, "I do not believe it hides large hips and behinds, and the new asymmetrical peplums should only be worn by the tall and thin".

" Louis Paul, author of Italian Horror Film Directors noted that Caiano was "obviously infatuated" with Barbara Steele, while opining that Caiano's films in fantasy, sword-and-sandal peplums and Eurospy genres "worked much better" than his Gothic horror efforts.

In his review on the film, Maltin commended the film's atmosphere and Steele's performance, but criticized the film's plot as overly familiar. IGN felt the plot dated, noting that it included "false starts, drawn-out dialogue and a rushed ending" They did praise the acting and direction, noting " the performances and absolutely phenomenal direction and atmosphere are unparalleled.

Many women aspired to simple black sheath dresses similar to the black Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. The popularity of casual fabrics, especially knits, for dress and business wear during the 1980s brought the little black dress back into vogue. Coupled with the fitness craze, the new designs incorporated details already popular at the time such as broad shoulders or peplums: later in the decade and into the 1990s, simpler designs in a variety of lengths and fullness were popular. The grunge culture of the 1990s saw the combination of the little black dress with both sandals and combat boots, though the dress itself remained simple in cut and fabric.
