COMING LADIES’ FASHION?
DIVIDED SKIRT MAY COME. Bringing news’of a pyjama war raging in the fashion circles of Paris, Travis Banton, a Hollywood stylist, returned recently from a two-months’ tour of Europe. Immediately upon his return he designed the costumes for Ruth Chatterton’s film, “Unfaithful.” “Half of Paris now wears glorified pyajmas as evening gowns and afternoon frocks, while the other half insists that the costume be confined to the boudoir and beaches where it originated,” stated Banton. Banton predicts that the possibility of the divided skirt making an appearance as a street costume is imminent. Among the last-minute fashion items listed by Banton are the facts that skirt lengths have dropped to the ankle for daytime wear, while evening gowns display hems four inches from the ground, that the smartest hats are “postage stamp” size, and that bobbed hair is now definitely demoded.
