FASHION WORLD LEADER
DUCHESS OF KENT’S SUCCESSOR WILL IT BE BARBARA HUTTON? Will Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow (Barbara Hutton) become the leader of fashion while the Duchess of Kent is in Australia? says an exchange. Actually no one woman can hope to succeed the Duchess. For apart from her taste and flair for creating new styles that express her personality, her clothes are such that they cannot be copied. Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow, with her fragile “porcelain” beauty, is a dream of loveliness. But. women who observe her jewellery, her enormous eyes and perfect coiffure, can have little hope of being able to imitate even faintly such an elusively exquisite picture. Many women in society are extremely well dressed and smart, but they lack the subtle sense of chic that distinguishes the Duchess. There is, for instance, Lady Louis Mountbatten, who has a beautiful face and lovely figure. The Duchess of Buccleuch, sister-in-law of the Duchess of Gloucester, is a conventionally beautiful dresser with quiet and perfect taste.
