wave makes it exceedingly diff
cult to write about fall fashions
believe us. Yet seeing these fash
ions Is somewhat of a comfort
since We are reminded that ''i
can't go on forever and that i
takes cold weather to get these
styles out on the avenues. the
boulevards and the streets.
It would indeed be surprising
If a TRIGERE. collection didn't
produce few surprises. A new cut
the keyboard" moulds the Shoul-
derS Of coats and suit jackets with
a row Of short vertical tucks. And
q number Of black crepe dresses
illustrates that she can work well
in just about any other fabric
other than the wool she adores.
All Of TRIGERE'S designs are un-
derStated but rich looking. Her
clinging line may prove a little
hard for the average figure to take
but she brings new meaning to the
slender, fluid line that fashion is
following this season with her
cowl backs. her high bracelet col
lars on coats and suit jackets, and
the new armhole treatment in the
accordion" working of the fabric.
She shows several dresses in suit
ing fabric for a change. She sug-
gests wearing a coat of tweed for
evening plus a statuesque evening
gown rather than the fluffy. frilly
design. The all-pailleted trend is
seen in several glittering sheaths
that she has had hand covered
with mirror pailletes for that
mermaid look"
MOLLIE PARNIS sticks to her
fashion guns and shows full skirts
in a predominately slim season.
Tiny waists are best set off accord
ing to her with full skirts. A min
imum of trimming marks her de-
signs and they employ instead in
teresting skirt cuts, neckline. or
other simple details for accenting.
Seen here is color that has been
getting around quite a bit this
press week-olive green. -.

Prices here are lower than last
year and in addition to that bit
of heartening news is the fact
that she has used winter weight
corduroy to fashion coats and
dresses. Mink is used for the col

short coat and another dress of
pecan is trimmed with pecan
satin. This satin trimming is
widely seen throughout many col
lectionS. The covered-up look
for evening is exciting here in
dress of fuchsia Chantilly lace
with a top of black mat jersey
tying in q hip swag. Another
evening design, a gold sheer lame
dress with an all-pleated skirt
has a jeweled cardigan neckline
for a new looking twist.
OMAR KIAM of BEN REG
has a carefully-thought-o and1
planned collection designed pri-
marily for the woman who he
feels is at ease with beauty and
who has the appreciation and the
means with which to enjoy beau
tiful clothes. In the suit lineup
he concentrates upon pure lineI
minus distractions of cut and
trim; in the wool dress setup he
insists that dresses move gently
and be mindful of the furs with
which they will be worn; and
in all the fashions, he has care
fully regarded shape. Mr.. Reig
is to be commended In showing
a lovely squirrel full-length coat. |
For much too long has the fash

no reason why other lovely furs
