THE WAR ©THE FASHIONS
I This exposition of the fashions,
marking the opening of the sea
son of Autumn and Winter, is of
course of unusual interest this
year.
I
r"T HE WAR has drawn the tfes—social and commercial — between
* France and the United States closer and the coutouriers of Paris
have this season thought with and for the “American trade” more
than ever.
The war has brought its problems to the New York style houses and
they have shown a high degree of initiative in solving them.
The fashions created to-date are so varied that their name is legion
and yet the ultra—the extreme—has been frowned upon and conser
vatism is queen of the season.
Conservatism — individuality — variety — quality — these are the
dominant notes of the Autumn and Winter fashions.
So tomorrow we present a gathering of fashions in coats, wraps,
suits, frocks, millinery, blouses, gloves, hosiery, neckwear and veil
ings and the many accessories that contribute the modes for the im
mediate months ahead.
The displays are so arranged that the fundamental ideas that govern
the new fashions may be easily recognized.
