     New Orleans, Louisiana   ......March 14, 2005  This week's main line, brought a good deal out in the way of fashion. The club chose to use the color red to accent the members stark initial beginning of Camouflage green and khaki.

  When red or any other color is accented properly and in proportion with the main color, the members can't help but be stylistically stunning.

The one thing that made it really work for "Devastation", was the suits the men wore was a total match up to what the women profiled. The club was well coordinated, because even the shoes, socks and in one case the heels,  matched the outfits to a tee.

The biggest winning piece for the club, wasn't the suits, it was the hats. The head covering of a derby for the men and Spanish affluent number pictured above for the maids,  simply set off the show.

The off white suits of the men's ensemble was balanced at all points, which is important if you're going to go through the trouble of using a loud color to accent an outfit. The men kept the suits in proportion yet also managed to somehow cut the suit to fit even the smallest or the largest of the group. 

The scheme was simple, the Queen, Ms. Sylvia Shields, wore the identical off or egg shell white and her majesty simply let her maids balance her and the entire parade. 

Red is a tough color to balance and not over do it. Devastation proves not only that it can be done but that it can be done with style, and subdued flair. The diamond studs really shows how little is needed to make a big splash.
