He doesn't boast about II, but the
fact stands, nevertheless, that AL

Style Barons Decree for
Velvet and Also Rule
That Hips Must Be Flat
While Monotone Ensenl-
bic Is Missing.

New York, Aug. 80. UP)-Con-
sidering in a general way the trend
of fashion as crystallized in the
collections Of the great Paris dress
makers, it must be recognized that
the sweeping movement for more
formality in fashion goes on. The
reaction from postwar simplicity
proves stronger than ever, apparent
in many phases of the current
mode.
1t is reflected in the greater ex-
ploitatiCn of the groups designated
as afternoon fashions; these more
formal daytime types this season
compose entire groups of coats as
we'll as dresses for semi-formal &C.
casions.
The reaction from postwar SIM
plicity is revealed i'll the amazing
success of velvet, an essentially tor
NAL fabric, and in the approval Tor
dressy coats as we'll as for the short
Jacket suits and in the sponsoring
of satin Tor costumes of similar
types.
The movement of the mode gains
further strength in the Develop
ment of rich lanes and satlns IN
the casaquins or blouses which &C
company the new ensembles OF
dressy character, and in the ten
dency to give brilliancy to evening
fashions by a studied distribution
OF rhinestones and crystals on black
or white or color.
Awakening to Color Value
! There Is also a new awakening
to the value of colors and their re-
lation to each other with striking
color combination introduced With
distinction by important creators
which threatens the long suprem-
&C yof the monotone ensemble.
The overwhelming endorsement
of patterned fabric is another re-
action against the simpler style
moods. In woolens, silks ana
metals, prints, novelty weaNes,
= aconnes effects spread the con-
trolling influence of design over
day and evening fashions, asserting
further the mood of elegance.
In reviewing the Paris openings,
it is all-important to consider the
silhouette from the point of view
of that sponsored by the greatest
number of houses as well as those
creators who have most authority.
With this in mind. the silhouette
element which undoubtedly has
most conviction is the flat hipline
treatment, reported as endorsed by
90 per cent of Paris designers. This
may suggest either a high or low
waistline, for with flat yoke about
the hips, the upper line may be en-
phasized as it sometimes is by an
extra narrow belt which breaks the
flat hipline.
That the position Of the waist
line is to remain for another sea
son, movable or indefinite ele-
ment to be decided by other phases
Of individual models is ascertained
by the fact that in detailed style
reports of the openings the reflSc-
ton Of higher. lower and normal
posing of the waist is about equally
! balanced.
Fitted Effects Show Modern Idea
