ANGELES, Oct. This ason Adrian has tossed a

light and alluring Spanish veil of lef that science and inventions

inspiration over his abiding beare the only forceful influence

which can effect lasting fashion changes.

It all happened because of a

the Adrians were shown the private collection belonging to

trip through Spain last year— the

Duke of Alba. The beauty of the ancient Spanish fashions, he says, went to his head, then on paper and into his new collec-

tion. The results evident in his fall and winter 1950-51 collection, shown recently to press and public, is a blend of the dashing and exotic with the uncompromising modernism which keeps an Adrian costume part of the current era—never just this season. Adrian's Spanish colorings are more likely to reflect the « blue-and-purple of an El Greco landscape, or the grays and greens of Pyrenees rocks against a sulphurous sky than the usual red-and-black or yellow-and-black of traditional Spanish costumes. The dramatic solid black coswae appears for day and evening with an infusion of pure Ardian added to its national flavour; wide high- - crowned Spanish sailors in shiny beaver are shown with full Levening

Americana, first | love, is more than background | music for several series in the | collection. There are big ante- | bellum sleeves on prim little | boleros over short evening dresses of the most luxurious fabrics, including a woven metallies all of minuscule rippled tucks. There are shoulder warmers of the suit fabric attached to suits and tied around ih bosom and waist. There bonnets with a futuristic Tot to to them, ! Spanish gypsies have inspired | a group of models. Head cov- | erings from all parts of Spain are the eye-catching feature of a group of full-skirted short dinner dresses. Of lustrous | taffeta in deep colors, they are | ruffied and voluminous enough | to all but hide the face, and often add a bright kerchief | underneath.’ Adrian suits, as always, have | their own story to tell, of ingenious interlocking of the fabric with the cut.

ITS DEFINITELY

materials will never be woven again exactly like these woolens —each especially done for each sult . . . Rock Colors—from the gray rocks of New England to Spain and the Painted Desert Rocks—have ombre shadings and rainbow variations plus glints of metal. And it is no gaucho but Buffalo Bill who inspired a noodle-fringed suit modeled with two toy Pistols as its “accessories.”

Wings and Stoles Then to a group called “Old Man's Darling” , .". sheer black lace and tulle. Adrian's unerring eye for giving a girl what it takes is expressed in

pleats. An affsheulder short dinner dress righ] of torods green | pure silk taffeta is gracefully gathered to one side and cascades | info a floor-length panel. A flame colored long sleeved bolero is |

embroidered in gleaming jet. the judicious use of black net and lace in unconcealing ruffles and bandings on the bodices

and sleeves of slim black crepe dresses.

Adrian’s coats this season

have voluminous wings and

stole sides which often turn into capes or head coverings. Some have enormous pockets inside their floating sides as well as outside. A vermillion and black coat as startling as a firecracker is called “Gentleman from Venice” — a giant circle of red fleece crossed with bands of black velvet and cinched in over a simple black wool ‘and velvet suit.

Shock Treatment

. There are more of the “big” dresses, many Spanish inspired. A lacquer red dress — long and complicated in taffeta — has a shawl of woven black cords

A plum satin gown is laid in deep folds over one wide panel of blazing cobalt blue. And one of the most Adrianesque of all is a black net dress with its skirt front a mass of Victorian | poufs and its back nonexistent down to way below the waist. Adrian blandly calls’it “Shock Treatment.”
