Fall Fa.%l;ions for Busy vaes Says American Designer The American woman’s role in national defense calls for wide- awake, active lives says American designer Nelly Don, whose twenty- fifth collection of exclusive Autumn originals stresses simplicity in de- sign, gaiety in color, and modera- tion in price. “In times of stress,” she says, “fominine America prefers styles that are adaptable to the practical lives they must lead. “Fall, most brilliant of seasons, ulways brings new trends, new colors,new ™1 plans to every- i one. This Fall the fashion sil- houette is a culmination of those changes so recently in- troduced . .. a reverse silhou- ette featuring fullness above and slimness below. “Soft feminine, natural shoulders —with just enough build-up to bal- ance slimmer waist and hiplines— are fast replacing the masculine, martinet eéfect.s of past years. Many raglan and dolman types headline this new trend, while the larger armhole offers extra desir- able freedom and comfort, “Natural waistlines appear more slender with fullness and attention- catching accents concentrated above. Skirts, slim over the hips, almost invariably feature pleats and ingeniously-placed {ullness. An interesting new note are the pleated tiers — artfully designed into skirt fronts.”” “Sleeve lengths,” says Nelly Don, “show little preference. The ‘brace- Jet-length’ or ‘five-eighth’ sleeve still ranks high in popularity . . . while the ‘bishop’ type offers in- numerable variations. Necklines are just as versatile—with added emphasis on the deep-throated neckline, varied by contrasting dickeys and colorful ascot scarves. Also to be scen is the ever-favored jewelry neckline . . . foil for ac- cessory tricks. The classic shirt- waists and coat-styles with their tailored necklines will depart occa- sionally from the traditional turn- back collar to sport the collarless cardigan neckline. “The fabric family,” says Nell Don, “is unusually talented. Bid- ding for honors are the easy-to- drape alpacas, and rayon and wool jerseys. Equally important are the surface-interest fabrics — pebbly crepes, English-looking tweeds, homespuns, and mesh and boucle knits; and the tailored fabrics— like twills, gabardines, and coverts. “Flashes in the coloy panorama lead off with black, while brown and green bring up a close second. Spring’s ‘beige to brown’ theme continues, but adds soft rusts and deeper cinnamon shades. Kelly green looks on the brighter side, while spruce green leans toward the blues. - Red, patriotic in the gayer shades, extends its reper- toire to softer russets and wines. Blues go completely American with navy, marine, and goldier blue. “Colors, like fabrics, present dual personalities. On one hand—those bright, gay football colors to wear later under dark coats. On the other—the neutrals, grey and beige, that furnish background for color- ful accents.” Nelly Don points out such out- standing details as nailhead trim, knitted cuffs and buttons (Bundles for Britain influence), embroidered corduroy pockets, simulated mono- grams, and Indian jewelry acces- sories. “Buttons and belts are more in- teresting than ever before. Lead- ing button varieties are huge plas- tic interpretations, jewel studs, gold, silver, and pearl types. Belts vary from narrow self-color and self-fabric ties and buckled types to Western-inspired leathers and wide, colorful ties and sashes.” “With so many women engaged in outside activities,” says Nelly Don, “young career fashions gather added precedence. The all-American casual classic with its many varia- tions heads the list of contenders for prominence. This ever-popular style will appear in gay and neutral solids, as well as varied British _plaids and shepherd’s checks. They're the answer to what to wear for college career, business career, and home career. “And -~ with women’s defense classes becoming a reality, we'll be seeing more and more suits and slack ensembles . . . sturdy, prac- tical outfits to mix and match. In- valuable separates for a variety of active duties . . . shirts, skirts, slacks, reefers, windbreakers, vests, and tailored jackets in homespun, twill, gabardine, tweed, and cor- duroy.” “For dressier occasions ‘after 5, Nelly Don says, “feminine America will turn more and more to street- length fashions .. . just as simple in line, but gayer in accent and detail.” “This Fall,” she concludes, “It’s rich corduroys, peasant-inspired Put a Covic Diesel in Your Boat If You Wan! e MORE ROOM IN YOUR BOAT | IMiles for Your Money o:::.um,onmm that Instantly Starts Assgrance of Safe Trips Y : reedom from | L lmdlnnnfl:: ooth Bpeeas Lew Operating apd Maintenance Coste WARNER CO. ‘chin up’and ‘dress up.’” r 1 !
