MADRID, Oct. S.-What do Span
ish artists think of feminine fashion
To this qustion, a number of them
have replied with some interesting
comments,
Aurora Jauffret, prominent vaude-
Vile singer, better known as LA
Goya," likes modern fashion be-
cause 1t is 'loyal" and free,
previously, she said, women could,
thanks to odd fashions, conceal i'm
perfect parts Of their body, men
were caught, Today surprises are
almost impossible, and 1t is better
that way, Personally, l prefer the
classical Greek fashion to which we
should go back, with reasonable ad-
justments to life in the twentieth
century,"
Envies Japanese
Conchita Piquer, the "Valeneia
Girl" who recently returned from
the United States, thinks fashion
should not be so "strict." The best
ought to be what every woman likes
for herself. what I envy is the
far-eastern fashion: Chinese and
MJapanese clothes especially appeal
Bto me, she stated, Kimonos and
pajamas for women are SO agree
able to wear that fashion should
evolve along this idea"
Encarnacion Lopez ia Ar
gentinita" by her stage name, one
> of the few cupletistas who have not
bobbed their hair because they want
to remain typically Spanish, kicked
against the present ugly fashions,
and insisted the sticks to the old
ones with convenient improvements.
Manuel Tovar favorite cartoonist.
believes postwar fashion is already
''out of fashion," although it helped
immensely in Spain, to abolish nu
merous prejudices women had kept
about dressing. Also, thanks to sim
plified clothing, women can now
dress in five minutes, and undress
in one minute, he remarked. How
ever, it is still complicated. The an
tique peplum was more artistic than
most of the expensive dresses sold
at the branches of the Paris firms
in Madrid 1.-The less clothing WON
en- will wear in the future, the bet
ter for everybody"
Cut Hair Short
Rafael de Penagos, another we'll
known artist who draws fine modern
women, admitted frankly he prefers
nudity to any dress, even the ultra
short skirts; also that all women
should have their hair cut short.
Manuel Benedito, whose paintings
have made him "the fashionable
painter declared that modern fash
ion for his work has the advantage
of covering little and uncovering
much. Benedito, however, urged
women to invent something better
Ahan their combing system: "all un-
Nlulated heads look alike he claimed.
Hair dressers should change fashion
as clothes fashion changes with sea-
sons
Isabeiita Barron, comedian star, is
also for the lightest possible, al
though moral, clothing. Short, one
piece dresses with nothing tight, this
I consider the principle of fashion,
she suggested, the rest being a ques-
tion of detail and individual taste
that should suffice to prevent women
from looking alike. Thanks to such
fashion, natural beauty could not
pass unnoticed.
Finally, from a different point of
view, Carman Moragas, the popular
actress, thinks 1925 fashion repre-
sents the triumph of hygiene, but
makes women lose their attractive
aspect. Before anything, esthetics
should guide fashion," she said, Il
am convinced we should take more
and more to sports, the best cure
against the historical fatness of
Spanish women.
