(By Margaret Mason.)
I pray you do not have a fit,
Danie Fashion w(11 not stand for it.
For anything that fits my dear,
Will simply not be done this year.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2U—The Bi-An
nual Fashions Shows are now upon
us and languid, languishing models
are undulating a million dollars worth
of furs and metallic embroidery and
brocades all over the smartest shops.
All the worth-while gowns are
there, they Doucet everyone will wear.
Our old friend Pioret litis a pair, of
I stunning one with Chinese air. and
g Lanvin, Chalot, Premet too and Pa
li quin also show a tfew.
If Since the Chinese tendency is so
| pronounced in most all of the import
' ed models, the setting for the dls
jf play of the gowns is all Chinked and
p lacquered and gilded and Chinese
= Gods are rigged up. The models all
j glide around among the carved ivory
g and teak wood and Chinese porcelain
B as much at home as if they had never
5 been outside the Great Wall of China,
p Of course a few of the models are
U allowed to sit on the Russian steppes
I and look like Olga of the Volga in
fur trimmed peasant blouses smoth
ered in fur and hectic worsted em
broidery, but in fact the similarity
between the lines of the loose Rus
sian blouses and the loose Chinese
c.oat, the brilliant embroideries and
^ those of Russia, and the lavish itBe
~ of fur on both make it a rather puz
— zling proposition unless you are a
connoiseur on Chinese and Russian
art or at least of Russian and Chinese
tea to tell one from the other.
Attcr taking an oblique look and
getting a Chinese slant on those dif
ferent showings of imported modelB
so rich in materials, reputation and
price, my advice to the women who
cherishes the wild ambition of load
ing the mode back home is to wait
until she gets there. Then let her
hire the village seamstress and have
that personage fit all her gowns on
some one with a figure the exact
antithesis of her own. When she dons
_ them everybody will be willing to al
y most swear she is wearing a Premet
jg or Doucet model of the very latest,
g For the main characteristic of all
g; the new models is their non-fitting
g styles and the impression that they
g: are built to go on totally different fi
* "ures from tho ones th#y adorn. Necks
& are hacked out straight across from
g: shoulder to shoulder, or in loose ovals
» that puli hither and yon, sleeves are
g Ioobo and flowing wide, and the waists
P if one may call them such, are guar
p: anteed not to touch the human form
jjj: at any given point or curve from the
g- shoulder to the hip. Some of the
jg skirts are caught up at unexpected
and awkward angles and indicate
g that if they hang evenly for any space
around the hem they are miserable
| and a failure indeed.
On the evening models, where drap
4 eries are the piece de resistance as
* ‘twere the way the gorgeous lengths
_ of metallic and velvet or silken bro
cades are draped on the foundations
J of lace or gold or silver game, would
cause the window dresser of the white
front Dry Goods Emporium back in
the home town to hide his head in
shame.
They give the non-elect the disturb
ing impression that the designor had
stood on the near side of the atolier
and thrown the drape across the room
to the lace swathed form on the othor
side, and then hied himself franti
cally to pin the wanton stuff 'ere it
^ happened to light.
The whole idea of the season seems
n to be striving after the sketchy im
= pressionistlc effect, or as photogra
phers say, one of those artistic blur
red porti'aits that make everyone
mystifying beautiful because they are
so out of detail—we must have a fuz
zy outline.
No doubt the super-abundance of
worsted embroidery thut is used la
vishly on every’ material hand, even
ofl lustrous chiffon velour will aid
in the fuzziness.
. If you c in’t just manage to be fuz
zy, ill-fit; 1 and glittory with silver
threads among the gold, or a bushel
t beads -11 on at the, some time,
your ^ariorial success for 1917-1918
is asssured.
