FRENCH FABRICS FEATURE CLASSIC WEAVES IN WOOL
Emphasis is on wool of classic weave and sober colour in the new French fabric collections, designed for autumn and winter, although one or two novelties are featured, says a fashion note received from Paris by the New Zealand Wool Board. Grey, from palest pearl to darkest gunmetal, predominates for day and evening wear, while the shrubbery shades of green, together with browns ranging from cafe an lait to nigger and including all the light rust and tan shades, are next in line. Pink, duck egg blue, yellow, and certain mauves are favoured among the pastels, while reds fall into the bluish raspberry group to include wine shades and purplish tones. Some petrol blues are shown, while dark flag blue bordering on navy is not uncommon and black holds its own for formal wear.
First in the limelight are wool jerseys, some very fine, others solid enough for tailoring, but all of them in a smooth stockinette finish.
