Paris is Embarrassed
by Lavish Style Shows
Within Earshot Of War
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
NEA Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Oct. l9-Paris dress
makers, now busy showing their
fall collections, obviously are
embarrassed at the incongruity
of presenting thousands of dol
lars worth of clothes, materials
and workers time when men
are dying a few hundred miles
to the east in Germany and
when men and women are in
need of clothes few hundred
miles to the west in Normandy
and Brittany.
Of all the couturiers, Marcel
Rochas has best solved this
quandry. He solved it by the
simple expedient of making
clothes not for wear by his cli-
entele but to be worn on the
stage and screen as a symbol Of
things to come in the peaceful
world of tomorrow. AS his pro-
gram said. Tomorrow means
hope and peace recovered. For
its future task the spirit and
hand of Paris must not lose its
ckill. Our immediate task is
also to satisfy through the cine
ma and theater the soldiers
Dreams"
Of course Rochas is helped in
his resolve in the fact that many
of his clientele are well-knowns
of the stage and screen. For
example, Marlene Dietrich, cur
rently touring France for the
u. S. O., has already selected an
evening dress with a yellow
MORE short skirt and black vel
vet bodice from the current col
lection.
Generally the influence of the
cinema was seen in all or Ro-
chas' creations especially in
evening dresses.
EGYPTIAN INFLUENCE
Coats were simple, warm and
warlike. Two years ago Rochas
introduced Condolences and this
year he continued them-his col
lection including one in strik-
ing gray velvet. Rochas has
always made jackets of different
materials and colors from the
skirts, and this time was no ex.
ception. Many of his skirts
were plaids, one all checked
black and green dress showed
typical Rochas lines-the yoke
taking in the shoulders and
trimmed with fringe of self
material.
1t showed new sleeves, which
were large and loose until the
wrist, where they became mar
row and tight. The dress was
of princess line, but with fullness
all around and witch-tight
waist. This line appeared again
in long and short evening dress
es, generally black, often with
boleros decorated with sequins.
Rochas introduced one new
