This
and
That
in
Fashion
BY Jean PATOU
Written for NEA Service

PARIS, June 2o.-Colors evolve
m the same way as fashions. There
always have been fashionable COL
ors and these always have changed
with the seasons.
The question OF color is a very
important one with me and people
who follow fashions closely know
and appreciate the amount OF time
and study I devote 10 each OF the
colors / launch.
This mode OF colors long since
has followed a regular rhythm.
There are colors set aside for the
winter months that are never worn
in June. and vice versa. But apart
from this fact that everybody
knows and accepts, there are new
ideas launched every a S in
which can be traced an evolution
OF color. The process may be slow
but 1t is more important ard more
noticeable than in the classical
shades offered as every season
comes along. What I have in mind
more especially at the moment Is
the present vogue for combining
colors.
Modes Achieve Contrast
You usually will find that a
period OF violent color comblna-
tons is followed by a return 10
plain. solid colorS. These appear
very restful and pleasing by con-
trast. but after a certain time they
7 bound to pail by reason Of
their monotony. Then holder hues
come IN again.
This season shows a decided ten
dency. especially IN my collection,
TO a certain boldness IN color COM
binations, such as has not been
cen for many years. There are
quite a number of models that l.
lustrate the effectiveness that can
be derived from a certain color
other than using IL as the main
theme: that Is 10 say, by frankly
placing this color in direct opposi-
ton to another.
Even those colors that have be-
come classical seem TO be subject 70
the modes influence. and though
Il may appear impossible TO invent
something new in their different
shadings, they sometimes offer n
expected variations. White. for ex-
ample. can acquire a number OF
varied shades. II car be eggshell,
or family tinged with pink or blue.
Accepted color combinations
such as yellow and black and red
and black can be more or less
startling according 70 the vivid
ness of the color and the amount
used.
Consider Natural CoIoring
1t is evident that every color
combination must harmonic with
another factor. which Is a woman's
coloring. This Is very important. but
almost invariably apt TO be over
looked. especially with a new fash
ion.
There are certain accepted pre-
cepts regarding the shades best
suited 10 different types Of COM
pleXions. but there are almost as
great a variety Of skins as there
are colors and their reflections.
and this is quite a study in itself.
Some skins glow, others do not,
and The reaction 70 colors IS Diff
ferent with every woman. The
coloring d the hair also is a mat
ter for close study, so that before
selecting any bold combination Of
colors. a woman would do well TO
consider all these factors. and her
couturier should be able 10 advise
her.
