Paris Copying

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 1O.-Holly-

copies Paris.
To that extent is the film CAPT.
tai the worlds fashion center, &C.
cording to Bernard Newman, in
ternationally known costume de-
signer.
Newman, who was recently
brought to Hollywood to design
gowns for RKO-Radio stars, said
that the film city is frequently
six months ahead of the rest of
the world in fashions.
ITO be perfectly frank, the
fashion world doesn't copy Holly
wood" said he. 1T waits until
Paris has done that. Then it
copies Paris.
For example, after the Joan
Crawford picture, Lefty Lynton,
the Paris establishments all dis
played Lefty Lynton model.
May Vests first picture was re-
leased in Paris under the title,
Lady Lou The next fashion
shows featured a Lady Lou
model.
THE result of Flying Down to
Rio was a carioca dress. There
have been models patterned after
creations introduced on the screen
by Ann Harding, Katharine Hep
burn and many other stars.
within a short time after
these models were displayed by
the Paris Establishments, other
houses throughout the world were
showing similar creations.
Thus, while Hollywood very
often sets the pace, Paris re-
mains the arbiter.
Newman, who entered gowns
for many Of the worlds fashion
leaders during years as head de-
signer for Bergdorf-Goodman in
New York, is now planning the
wardrobes to be worn by Irene
Dunno and Ginger Rogers in the
