USES OF WOOL
ALL TYPES OF CLOTHING
FASHION SHOW IN LONDON
(Received September 8, 11.15 a.m.) LONDON, September 7.
"This fashion show is the inauguration of a great movement to convince wholesalers, retailers, and, the public that the wool industry is in an adventurous mood," said Mr. Lan CluniesRoss in opening a fashion parade sponsored by the International Wool Secretariat at Claridge's Hotel. His theme was that wool could be used for all types of clothing.
Many representative fashion houses showed various uses, including evening gowns and country house clothes. The general effect was that the comfort attributable to wool was no longer synonymous with dowdiness, but that wool can camouflage usefulness and be made to resemble fur, silk, or velvet, or be itself in fine heavy materials.
