Tir OMABA SUNDAY BEE MAGAZINE PAGE RGO e An Extraordinary Hat and Veil Directly from Africa—an Example of What Lady Duff-Gordon Calls “Too Extreme” Imitation. (All “Lucile” Designs.) A Beautiful “Lucile” Wedding Dress of Russian, Inspiration. By Lady Duff-Gordon (LUCILE") HAYVD often sald that fashion knows no time l nor geographioal ‘limits. The sources of fashion are in human nature itself, and, as Kipling said— . “The Colonel’s lady and Judy O'Grady Are sisters urider their skins.” 1 confess that I find inspiration in every cor ner of the earth., But although “the Colonel's 1ady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under their skins,” they are not sisters on the outside of their skins—and fashion has-to take this into consideration. For this reason if the French or the Itallans or the Swiss or even the Hottentots have something that is beautiful and striking, something that stirs inspiration, before we use it we must modity it to harmonise with what #t is to dress, Here in this Russian dridal dress we bave & perfect example, I think, of how to mould & for- eign tashion to our own needs. And in the extraordinary headdress and veil, whose inspiration has been the headdress and tace markings of the Zulu, we have something to avold. And yet these same extvaordinary things with a little manipulation can be made beautiful. I show it as an example of too much fidelity to the source. Wherever you see something in the foreign fashions, no matter where they are, that you like, take it, of course. But be sure to adapt it to the particular style of woman that you are.
