Molyneux Introduces lame on his Boldini hat with his unerring good taste. This soft metal fabric is cleverly swathed round the high conical crown, slipped through and continued across the forehead. Combined with black felt it is chic for afternoon parties.
Rich lame fabrics are Very important this year. They are introduced in jackets and evening dresses and on hats. In keeping with the richness of the fabrics, barbaric jewellery will be worn round the throat and wrists. Aigrettes, metalthreaded veils, sequin beanies, flowers and butterflies will be used for finishing touches. Luxurious fox furs —particularly blue or while—.will be used in chunky coats and capes.
This striped lame gown, which emphasises the low hipline, has the tube skirt slashed at both sides of the hemline. A sequin beanie completes the evening ensemble. The model with the luxurious stranded white fox cape slung over one shoulder wears a gown of one of the original fabrics displayed at the Paris Exposition. The beautiful lame is rich in color and texture and has been superbly tailored in a design created by Francevrament. A fishtail train is featured. The flowers poised on top of the Edwardian coiffure are gold lacquered.
Jackets are smart for the cocktail hour. This one, tailored on Chinese lines, is fastened right up the front with diamente buttons. Again it is lame with rich colors on a white ground. The sleeve length is a new fashion note. The turban is swathed and tucked high off the head in the correct manner.
A modern version by Patou of an Edwardian fashion from an old family album. The charm and dignity of 1900 is revived in this iridescent lame tunic dress with its fish tail train. A gold chain dog collar is worn above the square decolletage. Aigrettes to tone with the gown are worn with the Edwardian coiffure.
