Wool In Fashion Show
(Received 2.30 p.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. C. Ross, evening the fashion parade sponsored by the International Wool secretariat at Claridge's Hotel. The theme is that wool can bo 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 is no longer synonymous with dowdiness, but that wool can camouflage usefulness and
resemble fur, silk and velvet, or be itself in fine heavy materials.
