It isn't exactly a debutante in the world of fashion. Dubonnet “came out™ with great eclat two years ago.' But recently it stepped forth in a second debut more dazziing than the first. Taking their cue from the Paris passion for vintage shades, Schen- ley Import Corporation, importers of Dubonnet, the famous French wine, staged a Dubonnet Fashion Show in their Moderne Room on 40th Street, New York. Present were fashion editors, designers, il- lustrators, and representatives of leading ‘manufacturers. Seventeen beautiful models gave the assembled critics a preview of the gorgeous new creations in Du- pennet color that will be available to fashion-wise women this fall and winter. The gowns and wraps on display represented eight of the leading dress houses of New York registered with the Fashion Or- iginators’ Guild and five leading houses of the Knitwear Institute. The new fall Dubonnet shade is 4 bit deeper in color than the sum- mer version. Fabrics on parade at, the Fashion Show ran the gamut from nubby knitwear to pin-dotted changeable taffet, and th= silhov- ettes ranged from pencil-slim sports | skirts to the flaringest evening gowns. Too, there were portrait gowns of | crush-resisting velvet with low V-| front decolletteage, puff sleeves and | slim, form-fitting waistlines. . . .| long capes end wraps of velvet,| with matching and contrasting frocks. . . . a stunning evening en- | semble of printed metal cloth that| combined Dubonnet witn green. . a plum-colored woolen coat with o Tuxedo roll collar of skunk worn over a Dubonnet wool dress ... . evening gowns a-glitter with shim- mering sequins.
