CallIOIQla clOLleS come IN
Alex Colman has some Of
the lveliest pinks. blues. yell
lows and Persian garden
prints to be found.
Casual Time has rainbow
stripes that rival natures
prettiest sight. Sir James,
) like a number of other Cali
fornia designers. likes the
unique colorings that butter
flies possess and captures the
tones on his pure silk print
tops that often flutter or
ruffle over slim pants.
The second day Of the
sportSwear showings out here
was marked by a number Of
different things.
For example, II you've
thought there's nothing new
they can do with a shift,
you'll stand corrected. For
beach parties, Sir James has
a strapleSs arnel sharkskin
striped shift that shifts its
outlook downward and with
the addition Of a blouse can
also become a patio skirt.
Then there's a MILDLY shift
that certainly is a far cry
from just a shoulder hang
ing piece of cloth.
The Jumper Look
v is for the victory of the
jumper dresses in this part
Of the fashion land. Alex
Colman adores the jumper
look, and his jumpers are
meant to be worn over a
variety Of shirts, many with
flat ties rather than prissy
bows.
The prints that are going
to bloom in backyards, on
the beach, and in drawing
rooms are about the biggest
we've ever seen. It led one
editor to observe, THE
hamburgers out here are
getting smaller, but the
prints are certainly Texas
sized"
Alex Colman's rose would
make a horticulturist go
mad with Joy. 1t measures
"a inches across the front of
a white tunic top. Border
prints set off a number of
his play shifts that come in
a variety of fabrics desig-
mated by Good Manners.
They'll sit through anything
and not make a fuss or a
muss.
Mr.. Colman is one designer
who wants to take the ski
out of pants, and refuses to
cut the stretch variety with
stirrupS, considering those
only for slopes. His shan
stretch pants Of helanca and
rayon are slim, sleek and
look like they belong in the
most elegant surroundings.
His tunic tops lengthen the
figure still more.
Navy, Coffee Team
The 'ashion news from
Casual Time is that they've
also got a bookbinder print
that will make any fashion
reader sit up and take no
tice. Another word from
them is that it'll be navy all
the way for a lot of the day
time activities assigned to
many of their dresses. Navy
and coffee are a team,
emerald with navy reacts
well. and navy coupled with
a parchment shade provides
a very important color con-
traSt, too.
The softening up process
of many daytime dresses is
achieved at this house with
delightful cowl collars, little
ringlets of fabric at the
neckline, or long, full sleeves
caught at the wrist. Softness
comes through also in the
use of many supple crepes
that are colored brilliantly.
White Stag sportswear is
always colorful but they also
like black, white and choco-
late brown in solids and fan
tastic prints. Going into the
stretch is how they term
their great emphasis on fab
RIGS that provide action in
skirts, shirts, knit tops, Gull
lottes, every length pants,
shifts and jackets.
Stretch is the magic word
right now in California. They
have a plush new fabric that
can take it, in a cotton shan
tung terry, executed well in
a long sleeved long length
pullover in such colors as
sand, orange, rose, blue,
green, purple or In black.
RainprOOf Golfer
Best fashion news for the
outdoor SportSwoman from
them is the storm jacket and
pants of nylon which can
waterproof the golfer caught
in a summer rainStorm. slim
them on over your golfing
toys and let the rains come.
Some of the happiest look

are meant to be worn after
