Let it pour Plastic-backed materials, bold colors due for Spring 1985 outerwear

By BERNADINE MORRIS N.Y. Times News Service NEW YORK-Ask a woman at any time of the year to name the most useful item in her wardrobe and the chances are, after shoes, she will say, “My raincoat.” Still, spring is the time when most raincoats are purchased, in deference to the proverbial April showers, and because of the need for a good lightweight coat that can go over spring clothes. The crop of raincoats for this year is stronger than usual, and the magic word is “plastic.” Cotton, polyester and even silk fabrics are backed with

It also gives them a high shine, which is especially attractive in the fresh colors that dominate the raincoat offerings. “Happy Colors” is what Luba calls the rose, marigold, teal blue and poppy red shades that glow throughout her collection. The designer for Luba Designs explains, “They’re not neon bright but dusty. But they’re still cheerful on a gloomy day.” YELLOW AND BLUE ARE IN strong demand in orders at Drizzle, the raincoat specialist, according to Jane Lipman, one of the owners. “But people still want black, because it

goes with everything and, even more important, because it can be worn at night with dressy clothes,” she reports. Although raincoats are bought primarily to repel rain, they often also double as an evening coat. A black raincoat is the indispensable item in the luggage or on the backs of women travelers. “I rolled mine in a ball and put it in my suitcase that last time I went to Paris,” recalls Eleanor P. Brenner of the company that bears her name. “Then I wore it every day of my visit because it was raining.” THE RAINCOAT, BLACK plastic with alligator markings, is in her spring collection. The designer of separates figured it would be as useful to other women too, so she added it to her line, to be worn over various jackets, sweaters, blouses and pants. There are some new ideas in raincoat design. The most useful is probably the double of Ilie Wacs. The

outer layer is a slicker in blush pink, navy or yellow Inside is a separate coat of white cotton twill, which can double as a coat dress. In another version, the inside coat is navy wool flannel, the outer shell a yellow slicker. Wacs is a longtime advocate of another type of rain fashion, the rain suit. He does it in cotton gabardine with either a bloused jacket or one that looks like a shirt, and the best colors are black, camel and yellow. HARRIET WINTER GOES A Step further. In addition to rain suits -- she does them in plastic - she offers a rain dress. The designer of the company known as Mrs. H. Winter uses the same off-white canvas of painters’ dropcloths as well as various textured plastic materials for her rain clothes. One version combines the two, with sleeves of heavy cotton on a jacket with lizard plastic used for the front and back. The skirt is plastic. While these styles are officially destined for spring selling, many of them will be in the stores this month.

English-style decor easy on pocketbook and popular

By BARBARA MAYER AP Newsfeatures Tea and scones by an open fire on a wet winter’s day, the sweet aroma of roses at a cottage door, jolly outdoorsy weekends in the country: to any reader of novels these scenes say England. The ready appeal of these symbols of English homes is one of the reasons why English-style decorating is currently popular in the United States, says Suzanne Slesin, co-author of “English Style,” a new book which documents the design elements in English homes. “Americans feel comfortable with English decor. It offers a certain grandness but on a more modest scale. It’s personal, a little sloppy, not too rigid and it makes room for collections that you add to over the years,” she said. Furthermore, English style is easy to live with, doesn’t take lots of money, great antiques or large spaces to reproduce,she added. The pre-eminent (but not the only) example of English style is the country house. Another style currently being emulated in this country is a more pared-down version which she calls simplified plainness. A third strand the stately mansion is “wonderful to visit but impossible to reproduce unless you have endless amounts of money, time and space.” Some design details that are typical of English country homes include comfortable sofas and easy chairs covered in floral patterned chintz or unpolished cotton, faded oriental rugs on the floor, painted walls or walls papered with a small flowered print or stripes. There is a warm and cozy feeling engendered by the presence of many

family pictures, pillows and throws on the sofa and easy chairs, paintings of dogs and horses, table lamps and a grouping of furniture around the fireplace. In the kitchen, you'd find a pantry or larder; The room itself would bt larger than American kitcheas but not as streamlined. On open shelves there would be many utensils and objects in daily use teapots, toast racks, milk pitchers, polished copper pots. All in all, the home would be comfortable, homey, perhaps a little shabby, certainly far from perfect. “Americans tend to throw things out when they become faded or dusty or frayed at the edges.” But to the English that’s just when they begin to take on the right patina, she said. Some tips for creating an English country .room in one’s American home: “stick to a basic color scheme, perhaps blue or red or pink with white. Recover your upholstered furniture in a suitable English style fabric. Then find another fabric with the same colors to use for pillows and lampshades,” she suggested. If you can afford, it, buy a stripped pine piece such as a Welsh cupboard which has drawers or shelves below and an open display rack above to display decorative objects. You can also paint the walls using a decorative technique such as stippling, marbling or sponging. For some people, the cheerful clutter and confusion of an English country home is too messy. They may opt for a more pared-down style in which contemporary furniture and plain, simple primitive fabrics and decorative objects predominate.
