'N.Z.P.A. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, August 7.
The battle for supremacy between London’s two top men’s-wear centres, Carnaby Street and Saville Row—has ended in a truce.
With 13 years fierce campaigning behind them, the two streets have suddenly discovered what there is. to be gained from each other. They are making up for lost time at top speed. The caftans and polo-necks on the rails of the Carnaby Street boutiques are disappearing fast under a deluge of Harris and Donegal tweeds, Norfolk jackets and top-quality Cashmere sweaters.
The almost sacred atmosphere of the Saville Row tailors is being shattered by a rash of psychedelic shirts and socks, wide, flowered ties and bright, buckled brogues.
