TRAVIS BANTON, the
Hollywood dress and cos
tune designer, has this TO
say about coming fashions:
Women are going TO buy
the clothes that look well on
them rather than what's
fashionable. Trends in
clothes will persist, though,
and the present trend is
toward more formality and
femininity. Returning SOL
diers will want their wives
and sweethearts TO look
alluring and beautiful.
There'll be more parties
and gayety - less OF the
austere.
Stacks, however, will con-
tinue to be worn, says Mr..
Banton, even after women
no longer work in war

for them. They're wonderful
