`
`That look, which was eventually named casual Friday, burst onto the workplace in the mid-1990s and
`promised to liberate men from the requisite white dress shirt and constrictive ties.
`
`The Levi Strauss & Co. was just one of several clothing retailers that latched onto the movement. Casual
`became synonymous with Levi's Dockers clothing line as an aggressive marketing campaign pushed the
`image of confident men dressed in khakis and shirts minus ties lounging around the office or sharing a
`drink after a round of golf.
`
`But for some sartorial minded, the look was anathema to professionalism.
`
`A backlash arose as the style bled into other days of the week and people took even greater license with
`the intent. The poster child for everything wrong with casual Friday became the techno whiz featured in so
`many stories that came to work dressed in flip—fiops, shorts, T-shirt and hair that looked as if it was styled
`with an egg beater.
`
`Fashion experts say the pendulum is swinging back to a more classical look.
`
`The double-digit growth in business clothing sales could partly be explained by men who are diving into
`their closets and finding that after years of wearing casual clothes, suits no longer fit or are out of style.
`
`An NPD survey last spring found the top reason men shop is to replace worn-out items and replenish their
`wardrobes.
`
`Injecting fusion into fashion
`
`Traditional suits, however, aren't the target of the buying binge.
`
`Fashion buyers say the new trend is to mix and match formal and casual clothing a look clubbed "fusion."
`
`Brick said a number of factors are influencing the buying habits of men. Some of it is a reflection of pop
`cultu re, the emergence of the metrosexuai and the reality show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
`
`Money is also influencing decisions as interchangeable pieces are bought to stretch shrinking wardrobe
`budgets.
`
`"They are picking up pieces that play to a seven-day week," Brick said.
`
`That translates to a sport coat teamed with a dressy bottom during the day and torn jeans at night.
`
`Brick said business clothing sales at Meier & Frank's Vancouver store are up, but declined to discuss specific
`figures. The company's most recent filing with the Secu rities and Exchange Commission said that despite
`second-quarter sales that didn't meet expectations, “|adies' suits, men's furnishings and tailored clothing
`performed well."
`
`Brick said the trend also holds true for the Pacific Northwest, where style trends are perceived to be
`dramatically different than those in other parts of the country.
`
`It is not uncommon in Portland and Seattle to attend the opera,
`fine dining restaurant and find patrons wearing everything from
`clothes.

`
`During "Miss Saigon's" recent run in Portland, one man attended the musical dressed in shorts, T-shirt and
`Teva sandals. He mingled with contemporaries decked out in suits and ties.
`
`Brick said the only real difference in sales between the company's Oregon and California stores is that cold-

`
`weather items sell sooner in the north.
`
`The clothing shift doesn't mean an obituary for casual Friday, just that the attitude is taking on a more-
`polished look, Brick said.
`
`In some instances, companies are forcing employees to adopt a more buttoned-up look. Target Corp., for
`instance, recently updated its clothing requirements for employees at its corporate office in Minneapolis.
`The new policy ends the "business casual" dress in favor of a more formal look. That means a sport coat
`and tie for men and jacket for women wearing a sleeveless blouse. A more relaxed ensemble is acceptable
`on Fridays.
`
`Dean Aisup, branch manager for the Vancouver A.G. Edward's office, said the corporate and numerous
`regional offices allow for a looser clothing standard on Fridays. Not so in Vancouver, where traditional suit
`and ties for men are required throughout the week.
`
`"It's not what pleases the employee, it's what pleases the client," Aisup said. “I think the client expects
`professionalism and that is more readily expressed with proper business attire."
`
`Brick said if history holds, this should be the decade of more elegant dressing as clothing cycles tend to run
`in 10-year increments varying between traditional and casual styles.

`
`BODY:
`
`Darrick Peppers used to spiff it up big time in one of his favorite six- or seven-button suits to hit the clubs
`with his wife, Deanna.
`
`And when it came to shopping, Peppers was, well, hot.
`
`"Before I had a family, shopping was one of my favorite things," Peppers, 23, said with a laugh. "Now, it's
`shopping for the family.
`
`"When you have a child, you can't go out and get a lot of things you used to. I might go out and buy a
`couple of T-shirts, but. .
`.
`. "
`
`But no regrets. Peppers and his wife, who live on the South Side, are the parents of 4-year-old Amari, and
`another little Peppers is on the way.
`
`"If it's a boy, I might be finished if he likes clothes as much as me," said Dad, who has worked in the
`quality-control department at Insight Cable for three years.
`
`Even though his social life has been altered, Peppers still steps out in style. Some things a well-dressed
`man just can't sacrifice.
`
`"We don't do the clubs anymore," he said. "Now it's church and Bible study and Sunday school. I'll throw on
`a suit for church."
`
`In fact, he likes dressing up so much that he would like to have a job where he wears a suit and tie.
`
`"I just like wearing a suit and tie," he said. "It's a clean look."
`
`His work uniform is shirt and jeans or khaki shorts with work boots. At home: jeans, T—shirt, cap and one of
`his three pairs of Air Force One athletic shoes.

`
`Box Story:What I wear
`
`Fashion Reporter Marshall Hood takes an occasional look at what people are wearing and thinking about
`fashion. Today he talks with Darrick Peppers, 23, of the South Side.
`
`Fashion inspirations
`* Style mentors: "Jay-Z, Steve Harvey,
`Eddie Long, Deion Sanders. When Jay—Z comes out with French-
`cuff shirts and cuff links, everybody has to have them."
`* Favorite brands: "Nautica, Guess? jeans, Tornmy Hilfiger. I've
`got a few Puffy (designer Sean ‘P. Dlddy'
`Combs) velours. But I try to stay away from the big names because they can be costly."
`* You love suits. What do you look for? "It has to have six, seven or eight buttons. I try to stay away from
`two— and three—button styles. (The former) are more fashionable, more stylish. I like the pants a little
`baggy and cuffed. And the shirt and tie I wear it with have to match."
`* How did you meet your wife? "We knew each other in elementary school, started dating in 1997 and got
`married (asks wife)...Feb. 14, 2002."
`* Last job you had before Insight? "Hanging drywall. I loved it."
`* Bengals or Browns? "The Browns. I think they'll do all right this season -— I hope they'll do all right this
`season."
`* Last movie seen? "Collateral. Good movie."
`* You're a golfer. Best course ever played? "Bent Tree."
`*Clothing item you wili never give up: "My caps from Champs. I may throw it on straight back or to the
`side or to the front. Just depends how I feel."

`
`BODY:
`
`SAN FRANCISCO -— Macy's brings its 22nd Annual Passport event benefiting AIDS research to Santa
`Monica's Barker Hangar on Thursday and Friday, with Tommy Hilfiger as the featured designer.
`
`Celebrity models Marilu Henner and Brooke Burke, and Kwame Jackson and Katrina Campins from "The
`Apprentice" will wear H Hilfiger to open the runway show and gala sponsored by American Express.
`
`Passport has raised almost $ 18 million for HIV—AIDS research, care, prevention and education programs
`since the show began as a small fashion presentation in the staff cafeteria of the Macy's Union Square
`flagship here. The funci—raising continues in Southern California with Passport In-Store, an a|i~dey shopping
`event at the Beverly Center, South Coast Plaza, Fashion and Mission Valley and Palm Desert locations on
`Oct. 2. The $ 10 tickets benefit more than 70 HIV—AIDS organizations in the area.
`
`During the San Francisco Passport event Sept. 21-23 at Fort Mason, Michael Kors was the main designer.
`Twenty samba dancers in plumed headdresses, pole dancers, a dozen break-dancing tots and Calvin Klein
`underwear model Antonio Sabato Jr. helped rev up the night.
`
`The annual gala, founded by Elizabeth Taylor, clubbed "Evolution Revolution" this year, also featured fall
`collections from I.N.C. Women, Dooney & Bourke, LeVian jewelry, Versus by Versace, Kate Spade, Badgiey
`Mischka, Vanity Fair Intimates, Nautica Sleepwear, Anna Sui and A.B.S. by Allen B. Schwartz. Other
`sponsors included MAC Viva Glam, Movado and Giorgio Armani.
`
`"Everyone thinks New York is the most eclectic and creative city, but It's great to come to San Francisco to
`see truly eclectic styles and ideas," Kors said after the show. “I love Passport because it brings runway
`fashions to everyone. I had been here for the show in 1995, and when they asked me to come, I jumped at
`the chance. We were showing real clothes and the show also ran the gamut of emotions. It was a great
`night."
`
`Kors said he was inspired by the children's wear in the runway show. "We‘li do kid's wear and fashions for
`girls one day, I am sure," he said. "Not tomorrow, but soon. It's very exciting right now. Kids are so

`neutral colors: white, beige, or cream. You'll need to wash them more often, but clean sheets impress
`women. 3. Look for a thread count of at least 200. (Check the label on the package.) The more threads, the
`better. 4. We like our towels soft and fluffy, so add fabric softener to the wash. Ralph Lauren, Nautica, and
`Calvin Klein all make towels and sheets that women love to have against their skin.

`HIGHLIGHT:
`
`The number of triathietes in the U.S. has more than doubled in recent years, with huge growth in
`Hollywood. And after a summer that saw Lance Armstrong win his sixth Tour de France and Americans
`dominate the Olympics, all were pumped and ready for September's industry—heavy Nautica Malibu
`Triathlon
`
`BODY:
`
`P aradigm agent Scott Henderson's reaction to the news that he'll have to stay a few extra days at the
`Toronto Intl. Film Festival seems a little extreme. "I'm devastated," he says. "It breaks my heart." It's not
`that the films are crappy, or that Henderson has been downgraded to a four-star hotel, or that he's facing
`back-to-back days of 8 a.m. screenings. The trouble is that being in Toronto means missing the Nautica
`Malibu Triathlon. Henderson only started doing triathions last year, but he's already obsessed. Besides
`Malibu, he's competed in the Los Angeles Triathlon and the Oceanside Half Ironman. "Once you get the bug
`it can be really addictive, to the point that if you go out on the weekend, you keep thinking about how you
`don't want to ruin your workout the next day by partying too much," he says. "It becomes, like, a big
`focus." Henderson is not the only one in Hollywood who is trading in premieres and cocktails - and
`sometimes business lunches — for a 50-mile bike ride or a two-mile swim, or both. This year's Nautica
`Malibu Triathlon, held on Sept. 19, felt like an industry-sponsored event. Disney, Sony, ICM, William Morris
`and Dreamworks all had teams and competed in what's been dubbed the Entertainment Industry Challenge
`(the team with the three fastest male and female times takes home the coveted Studio Cup, which this
`year - as in most years — went to Disney). Disney's team is the largest, boasting 150 members, including
`studio president/C00 Bob Iger (who was on a relay team with Olympic gold—medal swimmer Amanda
`Beard). Besides all the industry types, there were enough celebs donning wetsuits to cast a whole season
`of adventure reality shows, including David Duchovny, "Two and a Half Men's" Jon Cryer, Felicity Huffman
`and "The O.C.'s" Tate Donovan (who placed first in the celebrity men's category for the second year in a
`row). What brought them all together, at dawn on a Sunday morning — coincidentally, the same day as the
`Emmy awards - was the chance to compete and possibly win a top spot in the standings. "It's a very
`competitive sport and I think people in the industry are very competitive people," Henderson says. An
`event is payoff for all those early morning runs and Sunday bike rides that cut into script—reading and

`
`brunch with the in-iaws. A race is also an opportunity to prove your stuff, something triathietes don't take
`lightly. Money is poured into anything that can provide the extra edge: aerodynamic bikes, rear-wheel
`disks, seconds—shaving wetsuits. The investment is not always foolproof. Although Donovan won his
`category, he thought he'd be faster, considering that his new Cannondale bike was "awesomeiy tricked out
`with Lance Armstrong handlebars. "1 thought for sure that I was going to beat my bike time (from 2003),
`but I was only, like, four seconds faster. It's not like I train to win the celebrity division," he adds, "though
`I have to tell you, it goes through my brain: I gotta be faster this year." Sometimes the competitive spirit
`can turn ugly. "There's a lot of shit—talking before the race," says one Malibu vet. "You'll hear people saying
`they're gonna kick so-and-so's ass." The celebrity relay division — in which a celeb does one ieg and two
`non-celebs (usually ringer types, such as Beard) do the others - is particularly cutthroat. One former ringer
`says that when he competed for the "Gilmore Girls" team, the show's publicist "kept telling me how (a
`certain cast member) sucked. She was worried, because she really wanted us to do well." Celebs racing
`individually are equally hardcore. Donovan says he was expecting a faceoff with former "Bachelor" suitor
`Ryan Sutter, who beat him by 30 seconds in a Half Ironman race earlier this year. "All my teammates were
`like, ‘Dude, that guy's gonna catch you and take the crown,’ " he says. In the end, Sutter didn't show up. "I
`guess now that he's married, it's the bail and chain," Donovan jokes. Celebs aren't the only anxious ones.
`Michael Epstein, executive producer of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon, received several phone calls this year
`from people who wanted to change the layout of the course. "I get messages saying they want the swim
`longer," he says. "I guess they're good swimmers." Even people new to triathions don't waste time getting
`serious. After climbing Mount Everest in 2001, ICM agent Doug Mac-Laren, who represents Neil Jordan and
`Rob Marshall, has been seeking out new conquests. An avid athlete and former Harvard crew team
`member, his regular regimen includes ergorneter workouts, mountain biking and rock climbing. Recently he
`bought a road bike and signed up for Malibu. "I like things where you can't quit," he says. "It's good to
`have competitive sports like that. It gets hard and you keep plugging through. It's a lot like these (agency)
`jobs. But as an agent you can do everything right and the deal can still fall through. You don't ultimately
`have control. In sports, you do. What you put into It is exactly what you get out of it." As part of his
`preparation for Malibu, MacLaren went for a 30—miIe bike ride along the Pacific Coast Highway one Sunday
`morning. Thirty miles is a decent distance, but it's not going to kill anyone in good shape, unless it's ridden
`at the speed MacLaren chose to ride. There was no warm—up, no gradual acceleration of speed. He simply
`got on his bike and sped ahead, clicking his gears a little too madly (it was only his third time on his new
`bike), hunching down a little too low, but nonetheless moving like a bullet. Fourteen miles later, when he
`turned around and headed back south, he was still pumping like a machine, a big grin slapped across his
`face. Like any number of driven workahoiics in the business, MacLaren is someone who prefers to operate
`at one speed: fast as hell. That quality makes the link between Hollywood and triathlons a seemingly
`obvious one. On the other hand, the entertainment industry is traditionally most conducive to sports that
`involve a heavy social (i.e. networking) quotient, such as tennis and golf, or at least a sense of quirky
`exclusivity, such as Jerry Bruckheimer's ice hockey league. Training for a triathlon does not require
`membership at a tony club and usually takes place in solitude, at the unglamorous hours of 5 and 5 a.m.,
`sometimes for up to 12-plus hours a week - hours carved out from already demanding schedules of
`producers, agents and execs, not to mention husbands and wives. Paradigm‘s Henderson says that when
`he decided to do the Half Ironman, he and his wife made a deal in support of his training, but, he says,
`"Now that I've done that, I have to scale back. We have big negotiations at our house about time." As far
`as using the time to network, Ironman triathiete and producer Bill Gerber ("The Dukes of Hazzard") says:
`"It's not like you can talk about a script while you're climbing Topanga Canyon. Your heart rate's 160.
`You're working. Or you're in the ocean swimming. It's not conversational." Still, Gerber does have industry
`buddies who double as training partners, such as producers Robert Lawrence ("The Last Castie") and Diane
`Siilan Isaacs ("Killing Pablo"). He says part of what draws him to the sport is that it makes him better at his
`job. “It's quite similar to producing, because you have to be an endurance athlete to survive independent
`producing these days," he says. "In this industry, especially, there are always a lot of unknowns," says
`Siilan Isaacs, a 43-year-old who placed fourth in her age group in the Ironman World Championships in
`Hawaii. "You have all these projects out there, there are a lot of intangibles. With training there's a
`consistency, a commitment you make to keep your mind focused. That's why I race. I like to have goals
`set. I like to have a pattern in my day, whereas my work is not patterned." Training can also be a much-
`needed diversion from the stress of the business. "I do it to get away from the industry," says Sarah
`Clossey, another agent at Paradigm who's completed several L.A. triathions and marathons, and who is a
`training leader for Life Cycle, a seven-day charity bike race be
