THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Americans Expect

France to

Retain | Its Fashion Crown

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN PARIS, Feb. 12-—Big guns of the American fashion ,

world are in no doubt that Paris will continue her reign as fashion queen of the universe.

Attempts by the Italians

capital's dictatorship are cong sidered futile after a comparison of the recent showings in Italy and the startling collec-

tions for spring and’ summer 1952 now bing “presented in Paris. There isn’t any comparison. » ” ou THE ITALIAN fabrics are beautiful and much cheaper than their French counterparts, Italian sports and casual clothes are well suited to the American market. But as far

s "haute couture” is concerned the Italians ae not in it. The hig difficulty with the Italians’ attempt to steal France's stuff is a simple® one. They simply do not have the style sense of the French, the sort of God-given inspiration which makes a Dior dress or a Jacques ‘Fath hat stand out wherever it is worn. As a result the dresses shown in Italy this winter were little more than attractive variations of styles that were shown in Paris a year ago. American buyers who bought Italian goods concentrated on sports clothes or bought finer garments in order to resell them at retail in American stores. When they buy Paris models they buy them in order to copy them or to inspire their manufacturers with ideas.

n ” o HARRY BLUM, owner of the three Blum-Vogue stores in Chicago and proprietor of one of America's finest salone de couture is pretty emphatic about Paris.

to horn in on the French “My personal opinion,” he gays, ‘is that Paris has al-

ways been a great incentive for fashion-wise people and that it

“hasn't much to worry about in

the way of eompetition from Italy or anybody else “The French have both the inspiration and the initiative. “Consider a beautiful hat or anv of the other lovely accessories which go to make up the attire of a well-dressed woman. Inevitably the inspiration has come from Paris. F 4 ” 8 “FATH, DIOR, Baiusiags Griffe or any ® other ffhe houses always has something different, something really new and really interesting. “It is that sixth sense of intuition that they put into their creations that really makes a hit with the American woman.”

Mr. Blum pointed to a little wicker bird-cage, inside which there reposed a bottle of fine perfume, resting on a rose satin cushion. “It looks like just a bottle of perfume inside a toy cage, nice but ordinary,” he said. “But look here.” He lifted the cage and a set of concealed chimes began to play a tune, “See what I mean?” sald Mr. Blum, smiling like a boy. Mr. Blum has been coming to Paris to buy models ever since 1920 and has made more than a hundred trips to the mecca of high fashion. He plans to “keep on coming.

“ONE ENCHANTED BRIDE"—Modeled at Ayres’ bridal show was this pale turquoise embroidered organdy gown that may be worn by the bride at an informal wedding or a bridesmaid. It may

be used as a party dress later.

Ethereal Colors Are New Note

By BETTY. LOCHER Times Fashlon Editor

OLOR, ethereal as a dream, was the newest note in Ayres’ dramatic presentation of “One En-

chanted Wedding” in the store auditorium today.

Champagne, pale yellow, dawn pink and heavenly blue were all used for exquisite formal gowns, some all one color, others frosted with white ‘lace or tulle. Spring and summer brides will have a wide selection of. gowns from which to choose. They may ‘lopk equally lovely for either .a formal or informal ceremony. Most necklines were off-the-shoulder and filled jn with webs of flesh-tinted tulle that could scarcely be seen. Single strands of pearls covered the edge of tulle at the neckline. Short sleeves, balloon puffed sleeves

or. just tiny caps over the shoulders looked charming with el-bow-length mitts that ended in bridal points over the hands.

= = » BRIDAL headdresses join with current millinery trends this spring and tiny bonnets scooped high in back, wispy caps and straight-on coronets lopked newer than tiaras and halos.

Every skirt was bouffant. Pleats were -used in many skirts, sometimes in tiers, cas-

cading down the back into a train, sometimes as fan-shaped godets spreading wide at the hemline. Informal “convertible” wedding gowns were elther street length or ballerina of pale organdy, nylon tulle or all-over lace. Several: of these were shown with elbow-length veils, very short gloves and Colonial bouquets. Color news for weddings was the use of one pale color for

the entire wedding party or a scale of colors such as very pale blue for the bride and sev-

eral deeper shades of blue for

attendants,

A group of convertible bridesmaids. dresses were shown in spring flower shades. 2 = = FRAGILE TULLE gowns, midealf length, looked as though they might have stepped out of the “Swan Lake” ballet. Favorite headdress with these dresses were narrow -velvet circlets with net forming the cap. Patti Fitzpatrick, Ayres’ bridal consultant, designed a group of bridesmaids dresses which were convertible and two-in-one. They were simple white organdy skirtmakers with cap sleeves And full skirts over red and white striped taffeta “petticoats” that could be worn separately, Sashes were of striped taffeta ending in bustle- bows in back.

Mr. Abel Is Careless and Muffs His Bid

R. ABEL is an in-and-outer. Usually he plays pretty fair bridge. But he

is easily. thrown off bal- |

Yet Mr. Abel managed to muff it. Mr. Dale opened the queen of spades which was won in the closed hand with the ace. How would you play from this point? ” n o IT LOOKS EASY, doesn’t it? You have to lose to the aces of clubs, “diamonds and hearts. Therefore you can't afford to

Mr, Dale

lose a spade trick. But it seems -

that you can get rid of one of dJummy's spades—-—on-—the third club from your hand. Or you can throw one of your spades on dummy’'s diamond suit. It looked fairly easy to Mr.
