A New
Approach
ToHose

GRIPPE sessions often pro-
vide the fashion industry
with a lot Of food for thought.
When the Burlington Ho-
Siery Company invited wom-
en- across the country to
write in their gripes about
hosiery, 80 per cent included
along with special pet peeves
the complaint why don't
my nylons wear as well as
they did before World War
II?"
AS the chant Of "Sheerer
and Sheerer" started so did
the counterpart Of "They
don't make 'em like they
used to-" hosiery manufac-
turers claim.
But the survey done a year
ago has a positive side now
that Bur-Mil Canoes "Just
Fabulous" new long wearing
dress sheers have come on
the market.
At a luncheon recently,
Betty Curry, newly elected
president Of the Hosiery Ex-
ecutiveS in New York, told
us of the. new scanned and
seamless styles that were
wear-tested long before being
presented by Bur-Mil to the
public.
Pointing to her stockings
she noted, "See how sheer
these new stockings are, you
can see where I cut my leg"
The new hosiery at Kann's,
she says, "has twice the life
expectancy" because of a
specially treated yarn that
feels softer than ordinary
nylon and is used in a COM
bination with two other
yarns.
The hosiery expert says,
more women would get more
mileage out Of their hosiery
if they would sit down first
after putting on their girdle,
and then place their garters
in position. On the new
Just Fabulous" hosiery a
decorative lace just below
the top, and an almost in
visible stitch band at the
petite toe, make it impos-
sible for any run starting
either in the top or toe to
enter the sheer leg portion
Of the stocking.
Another facet of hosiery
buying she has been inter-
ested in for a long time, is
the relationship of stocking
colorS to skin tones.
Actually" says Betty Cur
ry. there are five basic tones.
Ivory, pink, radiant (ruddy),

was a mistake, and the sue
cess Of the Antonelli collec-
ton indicated that color and
gaiety are still expected from
italian shows. The Antonelli
designs could not be truly
termed high fashion, but they
were colorful. very soft and
very feminine. Buyer reaction
to them was very good.
Buyers reaction also liked
the Capucci show, with its
young, spirited and sophisti-
Gated designs. Capucci's line
always made a coherent, bold
statement. He does have a
formula, but it Is a good one.
Another collection that met

FLORENCE, Italy, July %.
The fall fashion showings
that ended a nine-day run
here last night indicate Italy
wants to put on a straight
fashion face.
Everyone is in the habit Of
looking to Italy for the spice
in fashion-clothes that are
witty and gay or completely
mad, and always colorful.
But the new designs look
more serious, less whimsical.
Only the boutique shows we're
full of real entertainment.
The dominance of black
and gray was a big factor in
this new serious look, and
one senses that Italians are
also trying to enter into
closer competition with the
French.
Some buyers thought this
