SAID WITH FLOWERS
This time nominations have been made for the ten most distinctive “floral types” among screen stars by Omar Kiam, world-famous American designer, who is under contract to Samuel Goldwyn.
The nominees:— 1. Miriam Hopkins, honeysuckle. 2. Marion Davies, iris. 3. Josephine Hutchinson, forget-me-not. 4. Merle Oberon, wild rose. 5. Katherine Hepburn, poppy. 6. Greta Garbo, water lily. 7. Jean Parker, mountain laurel. 8. Dolores Costello, gentian. 9. Princess Natalie Paley, lilac, 10. Elsa Lanchester, foxglove,
According to Kiam, the secret of chic is self-knowledge. “The smart woman recognising her limitations, both physical and temperatmental, will learn to associate her -personality with a flower,,” he said. “Once she discovers her floral type, her fashion problems are solved. Flowers represent moods, textures characteristics. If you belong in the rose family, don’t dress like a daisy or a gardenia. Know thyself!”
