ion by leading designers:
Harry Shacter of Ben Fucker
mani see women streamlined
but still definitely like the way
women want to look slender,
but feminine and curved.
Lilly Dache-I see an emphasis
on sparkle. Women will be full
Of fluff and femininity.
Norman Norell of Traina Nor
ell-Al women will wear shorter
dresses, but will have a choice
of two silhouettes-one with a.
very full skirt almost like a
child's dress. the other rather
straight and Semi-fitted.
Sidney Blauner of Suzy Per-
ette-I foreSee the return of the
four seasons in fashion when
clothes will show by their fabric
where and when they are to be
worn. ] think women want the
experts to be practical for them
SO that they can look as il they
cared only about looking attrac-
tive. And the experts will do it.
Joseph Halpert-I see women
being less suit minded and more
dress and jacket minded. Every
woman will rediscover her
fayorite color and wear 1t in
preference to black-unless, of
course, her favorite color is
black.
Roy E. Titles, president. Goth
am Hosiery see lots of stock
ing showing and all of it pale,
but with indefinite tint of flesh,
gray or beige.
Herman Delman-I see the
growing Importance of the little
bit of shoe"-juSt delicate net
works of thread-line straps win
become a fiat pattern in 1854.
But fabrics will still have char
acter and surface interest.
Harvey Berin--Tweed will be
smart. but featherweight and
much finer in weave. Printed
patterns will be seen as often
on wool as on silk and cotton.
Will clothes cost
more in 1854?
Sidney Blauner of Suzy Pc
rette-No. If anything they may
cost little less. But people may
spend more because they will be
tempted by enticing fashions.
David of Damon, menswear
designer - Basically. no. The
price range of mems clothes will
be the same, but the average
man has become more fashion
conscious and automatically
more quality conscious, so he
may begin to tell the little wom-
an he has to spend more for a
new tie or sports shirt.
Question-Will color be more
important than black, brown
and navy?
Mollie Parnis-Red will be
basic color as adaptable. and
worn as widely as black. brown
or navy. Gray will be less pop
ular and beige so pale that it's
almost white, will be worn on
city streets all spring and sum-
mer.
Fira Benenson-Color is never
more important than black.
QueStion-Will every one wear
hats again in 1854?
Lilly Dache-I think women
will fall in love with hats all
over again in 1854. But then
that's because ! have some plans
I'm not talking about yet. In
general hats will remain small
and colorful and very pretty,
and will nestle into the coiffure.

Not just a hat, but an elabor-
