By MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Special Writer NEW YORK, March 24 —Ordinarily, at the fashion openings here of America’s top-flight designers, style reporters and scouts look immediately for drastic changes from the previous season's modes. New silhouettes, radically new models, new skirt-lengths and drapings. They looked for these almost in vain at the first three important openings

this year.

Practically all the emphasis is put on fabric and color, rather than

on form. The good reasch: Every

government spokesman has been

urging designers not to inaugurate any drastic style changes immediately. That's so that, with shortages present or threatened, women's

existing wardrobes won't quickly be And the designers played ball.

outmoded.

It is significant that Sophie builds

a whole collection of costumes forming “the framework of a wardrobe for vears to come”; that the coliections of Sophie, Wilson Folmar and Sally Milgrim spotlighted the simple, fabric-saving waist-length jacket and the knee-length skirt for every occasion. Another factor in keep-

ing changes to a minimum is the

fact that American women have

demonstrated that they want simple, purposeful wartime wardrobes They are buying —unprecedentedlv—classic suits, classic dresses and

just about classic everything.

FABRICS IN THESE SHOWINGS are original and fanciful. Colot is used strikingly, both to create a mist of pastel accents and to effect a bold stroke. The fabric-conserving frock is kept fresh and feminine by dressmaking subtieties—jabots rippling down skirt-fronts and backs; tucks following material designs artfully to create an illusion of pleats From stocks on hand, Sophie makes silk and wool suits, jacket

dresses. black davtime dresses, and,

lo, a few bouffant evening gowns

that look positively pre-Civil War. The last, she explains, will be worn this vear. They are “clothes to be remembered in.” A long-sleeved off-shoulders white lace dress has red roses spilling out of a pocket and also holdihg the ends of the wide sash in back. Her

verv-voung white pique and organdy

big

dress with long bodice has a skirt

tiffened and wide enough to make a terrific Swoosh 1 in movement.

lace ruffles for a skirt. And she has dramatically modern, sleek suits

in black silk. 2 2” ”

FOR DAYTIME, Sophie sponsors “clothes to be lived in"—notably, suits of many colors. There is a cerise, a brillant green wool. Her waistlength jacket suit is done, typically, in durable, spicy cinnamon brown wool. However, this costume has a soft cloud of pale. tissue blue accents—blue gloves, filmy veil descending from the hat to envelope the model's throat, and tucked, drilled blue organdy blouse. Wilson Folmar's more robust collection almost wholly substitutes the evening suit, the theater suit and the theater dress—none longer than midealf in back and shorter in front—for evening dresses. Black

and white are important here also.

These stress navy with green, purple, gold, red accents and fresh fresh detail. For instance, a little white evelet-embroidery ruffie outlining, unexpectedly, one side of both bodice and skirt of a navy crepe

frock.

For example, a polka dot silk has a yoke wherein the dots are cut out and embroidered. Floral stripes are important in this collection, especially in conservation clothes; the stripes are outlined
