Women's fashions cost £400,000,000 when they change, according to Lord Hollenden, president of the Wholesale Textile Association of Great Britain. Speaking at a London banquet to inaugurate national rayon week, he said: “The change of women’s silhouette is of more immediate importance than the future of Abyssinia or the reoccupation of the Rhine.” In the two biggest markets, Britain and America, it had been estimated, he said, that £400,000,000 worth of women’s dress became obsolete —not worn out —-when fahsions changed vior lently.
