SKIRTS FULLER AND HIGHER, WITH SLEEVES
THAT REVEAL “THE SKIN YOU LOVE TO
TOUCH,” IS THE LATEST STYLE DECREE
iiiiiiimimimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiimiimimiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiimimiiiiiiiiiiii:
CHICAGO, 111., Apr. 23.—Skirts ful
ler—and higher.
Sleeves that reveal “the skin you
love to touch.”
Waist lines, sometimes high,
sometimes low, but always most de
cided, except in rare instances.
“Elaborate simplicity,” with a dis
tinct trend toward feminine.
Color combination that pale into
significance the traditional glory of
the strutting pea fowl.
All this apropos of the semi-annual
fashion show of the Fashion Art
League which is to hold forth at
the Congress hotel, Chicago, for
three days this month in an exhibi
tion wherein milady who keeps
abreast of the styles—and where is
there one who doesn’t—may learn
exactly what she is expected to wear
every hour of the 24.
Gathered here for the three-day
style feat—the dates are Apr. 16, 17
and 18th—will be leading modistes
from Chicago, New York, Cleveland,
Detroit and other populous centers.
With them they will bring the 'cream
of the output from their local work
shops—feminine finery which in the
aggregate will have a monetary
value exceeding $100,000. Arrange
ments to take out a blanket insur
ance policy in that amount to cover
the three days of the meeting have
already been made.
Simplicity is to be the dominant
note of the fashions this season, ac
cording to word that has leaked out
from the shops of the modistes who
are working overtime to complete
their models for the exhibition. But
it is to be an “elaborate simplicity.”
Mme. Gisela Bennati, a widely
known Chicago designer who is
building a trousseau (and by “trous
seau” is not meant a bride’s outfit,
but a wardrobe for milady’s wear
around the clock”) explains this by
saying that the basic principals of
the costumes will be simple in the
extreme, while the effect of elabor
ateness will be achieved in the color
ings of the fabrics used and the trim
mings, which promise to be richer
and more gorgeous than ever before.
Mme. Bennati has original ideas
in costuming. She refuses to be
governed by any hide-bound set rules
of fashion, insisting on taking the
models and adopting them to the
individuality of the wearers into the
gowns she creates.
“Otherwise my label will not go
into the gowns,” she says—and a
label carries unqualified endorse
ment of the creation.
She has a word to say on Paris
as the style center of the world.
“Paris always will be a style cen
ter,” she added. “That is, Paris
will continue to send our models, but
it is up to us to take them or
to leave them as we see fit. By
that time I mean we can take them*
: and adapt them to American use.
“What we are trying to do, how
ever, and succeeding, too, is to de
velop distinctly American styles.”
That, incidentally, is one of the
main objectives of the Fashion Art
League—to develop American styles
for Americans’ use.
As an after effect of the great
war, Mine. Bennati explained, styles
showed a distinct trend toward the
masculine, but now they have begun
an equally distinct trend toward the
feminine.
This is indicated in the fuller
skirts, the wealth of ornamentation
and especially in the return of
sleeves.
These latter are to be long—very
long—but of filmy stuff that will
reveal and not conceal—often with
open spaces along their length—but
all very long and very full.
That doesn’t mean that all cos
tumes are to have sleeves.
“I wouldn’t want to go shopping
in a sleeveless gown,” said Mme.
Bennati, “nor would I care to at
tend a formal dinner party with my
arms encased in tight sleeves.
^ Sleeves will be worn where com
mon sense, and the occasion de
mands them, and sleeveless even
ing gowns will still be held in high
favor.
Fabric makers and not design
ers set the fashions, it also was
learned, but this, too, has to be
taken with* a pinch of salt, as it
w'ere.
Designers and fabric makers work
together—but until the fabric mak
ers turn out their products, de
signers are at a loss as to how to
proceed.
Designers must be adopted to the
material in which they are to be
turned out, so in a way fabric mak
ers really set the styles.
This year the fabrics are to be i
sheer and filmy and gaily colored.
Pastel shades will be favored, but!
again there is no hard, fast rule to
guide. Most anything will go, pro
vided the colors harmonize, provided
it’s elaborately ornamented, and pro
vided—last but by no means least—
that it fits the individuality of the
wearer.
I The meeting of the modistes here
is to cover three days. The first
will be given over to a get together
meeting and the second will be taken
up with discussions and general ex
changes of ideas.
The big event will come on the
[ third day—when mannequins will
parade in the gowns that have been
created for the exhibition here.
More than 150 of the most beau
tiful girls from Chicago and New
York—and that means the most
beautiful girls in the world — will
take part in the parade. Each
model will wear from four to six
costumes and, it is estimated, the
cost of the various gowns will av
erage about $250 apiece.
