WOMEN’S AND MEN’S FASHIONS
London, September 8. Lady Duff-Gordon opened the Russian Boot Exhibition' at Birmingham, where winter samples were revealed in zigzag and cubist designs, others with furtopped and decorated collars, and others again of the familiar concertina type. Lady Duff-Gordon said: “Last year the men complained of unsightly Russian boots. Lots of girls showed a bare leg above the boot. Doubtless, despite his protest, man was attracted by this uncovered portion.” Simultaneously comes the announcement by the “Daily Express” that tango red hats will be the most .fashionable man’s headgear. The president of the National Association of Outfitters said: “Men want more and more colour in their clothes. They can no longer criticise women. They are nearly out-pacing them. Can anybody imagine men five years ago wearing such socks, ties, pullovers, and plus fours?”
