keeps its eyes on the future while

Rochas is among them. Perhaps
anticipating frightening of skirts,
he nonetheless remains attached
to his flat volants. He has also
retained many printed dresses -
the main treasure for this spring.
Beside pastel tints of Scottish
design, artificial tints are attract
ing fashion more and more. Paris
couturiers are getting away from
the gay Japanese lantern colors Of
pre-war years. Sulphur, tobacco,
mustard, chartreuse and gasoline
are the colors of the day.
Coup de grace to the straight
tailored jacket will be given by
Paquin, who intends to remain
faithful to loosen blouses. Strangely
enough, he holds with Ores on the
subject of the full bust. He would
like to have the hip forgotten. So
he will stick to his Egyptian lines
which harmonic so well with his
supple backs. He will show few
accessories. Pure silhouette is
wanted, in which subtlety of cut Is
the secret of it's success.
Hats are going to return to small
forms, to the hubbahs of Allied SOL
diers here who have never stopped
commenting somewhat caustically
on towering turbans which were
featured in the early days of the
| liberation.

lest, He is attracted by drapery
in back, which appeared in his last
collection. By clever use of G aped
effects placed high on the hip, he
envelops the entire silhouette, thus
|lengthening it.
Worth's collection keeps dresses
simple, almost formal in front. But
he is thinking of bloused backs,
sometimes cut by high belt waist
lines, reminiscent of the bolero - a
style Paris always comes back to
and finds new interest in.
ROMATIC STYLE
Ores, renouncing for the time
being the fullness of her skirts, is
applying her clever fingers to bust
and shoulders. Perhaps this new
discipline will incline her more to-
ward the romantic style - where
she has had remarkable success
already.
Mad Carpenter is promising
colors - but not before the end OF
the war. She has a taste for noble
style - gull lines and invisible
seams. She belongs to the group
of couturiers whose ideas do not
precede their hands but accompany
them in fashioning clothes. She
Ores and Vionnet are of the ivory
tower school hardly affected by the
news of the day.
