FASHION’S CENTRE.
LONDON’S AMBITION. IJY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPY RIGHT LONDON. Jan. 19. “London i>s the world’s centre lor men’s fashions. Then why should our women so long be content to express their personality through dresses made by a Parisian model house;-’’’ asked the Federation of British Industries in a circular announcing, as a counterblast, the creation of a palatial British model house in Regent Street, wherein all the fabric trades are collaborating not- only in dress goods, but also in shoes, gloves and furs.
The circular discloses the illuminating fact that each Parisian model is accompanied by a certificate showing from where the materials came. The natural result of this is that repeat orders go to the same source. As a million Brittisih workers are concerned in the Begen.t- Street enterprise, the federation ap]>eal.s to British women to assist in making London the Empire’s fashion centre.
