Footwear Fashions
Give your imagination free rein in planning shoes for your wardrobe—no matter what you desire, the shoe designers have anticipated it. Every colour in the rainbow is used, either alone or in combinations, and materials include plastic glass, raffia, copper and silver plate, all manner of fabrics and wood.
With a beige and brown afternoon costume, Irene Dunne, currently
appearing in Columbia’s “Penny Serenade,” wears brown kid pumps, the heels of which are sheathed in pure copier plating. The bows are of the same decorative metal. A silver effect also has been achieved by the designers by using an aluminium alloy.
In the best Dutch tradition are the wooden clogs which Evelyn Keyes, Columbia starlet, was wearing with an above-the-knees sun dress at Palm Springs. Several tones of blue raffia intertwined with a silver blue cellophane are used in the heel-less, toeless sandals which Martha Scott, appearing in Columbia’s “They Dare Not Love,” has just purchased to wear with an ankle-length cocktail dress. Platform soles again are featured for formal wear and Rita Hayworth was seen dancing in a pair of black crepe sandals which have thick silver soles.
