NEW YORK, May 13, 2008 / FW/ — Perhaps it is because of the uncertain economy or maybe its because Cynthia Steffe has a new designer, but the quintessential New York label known for its sophisticated contemporary style chose to play it safe for Fall 2008 by proposing wardrobe staples.

Cable knit sweaters; loose-fitting long coats with big buttons, straight leg pants that are cut wide, and mini dresses that safely reaches about 2 inches above the knee – a girl will not look dowdy, but she would not look edgy either. Rather, she is the ‘perfect girl next door.’
