inches of the neck and dropped in a
flexible line to low belt.
POiret will never give up the skirt
that suggests Turkish trousers. Ii is
almost as much a symbol OF his work
as the fiat, red rose that ne used in his
MARITIME house decorations. He does
not object to the separate bodice of
velvet that forms part of the evening
gown, although he has watched a good
many other dressmakers use it since
he invented it nearly half a dozen
years ago.
LanVin Is Slavic.
There have been so many things in
common between Paul POiret and
Jeanne Lanvin for so many years that
some dressmakers have insisted that
they are related or that the houses
are commercially connected. The per-
sOnalities of these two designers in
France are as different as can be, even
beyond the fact that one is a woman
and one is a man.
Therefore, it is not surprising that
while POiret clings to the sumptuous
effects Of an exotic past, Lanvin also
continues to hammer upon the anvil
Of Slavic and Russian fashions.
She has gone to Serbia and Rou-
mania for inspiration and probably
draws q color, line or q suggestion
from the Cossacks of central Russia.
In direct contrast to these short, bril-
liant Slavic clothes. she has put out
most dignified evening gown. The
skirt is quite long, but without train,
and the belt is nearly over the hip
line. The top part of the skirt has
the tightness OF the days of the Renais-
sance, and judging by the many things
that Lanvin is doing. as well as other
French dressmakers, it looks as though
the loose blouse in any form will soon
belong to q day that is done.
This is not startling news to the
American woman, because the smartly
dressed young women have been
adopting the tight bodice and the long.
tight sleeves in their summer clothes,
even making them of Bingham and
especially of jersey cloth.
Lanvin also exploits the large waist
coat in various materials, to be worn
under coat suit and to serve as a
blouse or jerkin when the coat is re-
moved.
The hats she produces with these
gowns are often small of brim. She
clings to the Russian effect, but she
has introduced a small edition of the
Continental worn by Lafayette and
Washington.
Worth Continues Trains.

French designers have contributed to

In the Oriental manner. There is very
little that would ever appeal to Poiret
in the first and second empire fash
ions. He is strongly barbaric in what
he does. He has a genius for fabrics.
He knows the art of weaving and dye
ing better than most artists I'm Paris
do. and he has special places that work
out his ideas. Therefore, he has been
able to make frocks in the new kind
of plush which will be very hard to
get I'm this country, but which will be
desired because IL has been featured
by a few of the great French dress
makers. The fabric is difficult to de-
scribe, because IL owes everything to
its manner of weaving.
Poiret uses an unusual amount Of
black and white and brings back
quantities OF black and white Jet Law
ishly arranged on frocks with a Slavic
or Oriental tendency.
His evening gowns feature the high
line Mt the neck, which he has always
sponsored. His wife, a beautiful woman
who wore his clothes better than any
one else, always adopted the evening
gown which showed only two or more
