from over-indulgence.

Designer Visions
Coming Fashions
Quoting Edith Head, top designer
| of clothes for Hollywood notables:
“The reign of the popular simple
frock or suit is over. Everything
indicates that the fall and winter
styles will be lavish in fabric and
extremely romantic and flattering.
{| Clothes will deubtless cause social
functions to increase in formality
and it will be, all and all, a dressy
season.”’
“lI am sure,” predicted Miss
| Head, *‘that there will be no cer-
tain or definite skirt, sleeve, or coat
lengths in the coming trend. Wom
en will dress strictly to their own
individuality, getting away from the
| ‘sheep’ fads and crazes which made
| all of us look alike for the past sev-
eral years. At least feminine
fashions will assume something
else than ‘all poured of the same
mold.’
“The high note of the new trend,”
said the designer, “will be magnif-
icence of material. Silks, brocades,
velvets, and embroidered fabrics
will be abundant and tailored, all-
purpose models will hear a definite
death knell.”
Rich Silk Fabrics
For Coats, Suits
It is with an eye to the future
"that women are buying the smart
new coats now showing in the mid-
summer collections, made of rich
