MILLINERY QUEEN
Inventiveness Of Paulette They are an aloof lot, the great names of fashion. Take the woman whom many consider the world's greatest milliner. She calls herself Paulette. Just that It has a royal sound, like Elizabeth or Cleopatra, writes Susan Vaughan from London. No-one ean recall her using more than this one name, not even when she first started her own establishment in Paris as a young woman just before the war. Her success comes from her inventiveness. It is said that a Paulette hat is perfect no matter from what angle you look at it “I never look outside for inspiration,” she remarked at her recent autumn show. “It is something you have in yourself. If lam influenced by anything, it is by the renaissance, but it is never deliberate. Ideas come as I go along. “Women are wearing hats again because they are finding rational hats, which suit the times. Today, fashion has to be practical.”
And tomorrow? Paulette visualises bats weighing a fraction of an ounce: transparent flattering shapes which let you see the hair-do. (AU Rights Reserved)
