S. women are entering a new buxom era with Marilyn Monroe’s figure being the norm, a fashion expert declared today. If the Monroe chassis is the norm, this may be the beginning of the wonderful postwar era we were promised but never got. Any- way, that is the prediction of Bill Thomas, fashion designer at Uni- versal-International. “Monroe's figure is a sign of the times,” said the handsome young designer. ‘“‘American women are realizing there is nothing wrong with flesh, as long as it is in the right places. It is certainly in the right places on Monroe. “I think we are seeing an end to the thin, emaciated look that has been the height of fashion ever since fhe ’20s. In those days, wom, en Went for the straight, pencil like form that denied the normal contours of the body. That look was sustained for years by the designers of Paris and New York. The tops in smartness were the lean, hollow - cheeked models. “But now we are going right back to the '90s. The hour-glass figure is coming back. Fashion is finally returning to what men like best — women with meat on their bones.” Thomas. pointed out that Ameri- can men have expressed their tastes in the film stars who have found the most favor. Among the masculine favorites, none of these could be considered thin — Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Jane Rus- sell, Judy Garland, Shelley Win ters, Elizabeth Taylor, Betty Gra- ble “By past standards, some of | ankles, ¢ these girls would be considered overweight,” he said. “I remem- ber when I was working with Lana on ‘The Three Musketeers.’ After she returned from a weekend, we had to let out the seams of her | costumes and keep them together | with pins. “But you don’t hear men com- plaining about the buxomness of Lana and the others. They like | women that way.” He mentioned other stars who have dieted themselves: so pain- | fully that they have to be padded for their film roles. One in par- ticular recently modeled a show- girl costume with tights: neck to all padded. Thomas remarked that the new, | upholstered era was made possible | waist. ‘With these devices, women | | | by the introduction of cinches and other gadgets for slimming the can let themselves go,” he said. “As long as their waistlines can be cut down, they will look fash- ionable. “This will mean an emancipation for women who have been suffer- ing with diets for years. They can eat those potatoes and desserts now. Well But here’s a note of caution: Al- though they can eat more, they also have to exercise more. That’ to keep the weight well dis- tributed.” Among the screen newcomers, Thomas cited Piper Laurie and Su zan Ball as good examples of the new buxom look. “By previous standards, they might have been considered fat,’’ he said. ‘But they are not. They’re just ample, that’s all.” He added that even the Paris designers, who have long furthered | the half - starved look, are com- ing around to a filled-out style “The latest Christian Dior models have the hipline well-padded,” he observed From now on it’s “Hips, hips, hooray !”* FOR HOME or COMMERCIAL USE...
