London’s Unique Position.
BRITISH INDUSTRIES’ APPEAL.
By Cable—Preaa Association—Copyright.
Auatrallan and N.Z. Cable Aaaociatlon. (Received January 20, 10.20 p.m.) LONDON, January 19. “London is the world’s centre for men’s fashions, then why should our women so long be content to express their personality through dresses made by a Parisian model house,” asks the Federation of British Industries, in a circular announcing, as a counterblast the creation of a palatial British model house, in Regent Street, in which all fabric trades are collaborating, not only in dress goods, but shoes, gloves, and furs. The circular discloses the illuminating fact that each Parisian model j» accompanied by a certificate showing whence the materials came. The natural result of this is repeat orders go to the same source. As one million British workers are concerned in the Regent Street enterprise, the Federation appeals to British women to assist in making London the Empire’s fashion centre.
