NEW COTTONS
LOOK LIKE
SPUN GLASS
A dele Simpson's inspiration for
her summer 1951 collection is the
glass paperweight, that unassuming
but delightful art form imprisoning
so much cblor and fantasy in a
crystal ball.
The whole series of “paperweight
cottons” repeats the crystalline
shapes, textures and patterns of the
art form that inspired her. More
over, the designer states clearly in.
this collection her conviction—and
prediction—for 1951: a definite new
softness coming into all fashions...
fuller skirts, thanks to shirring,
gores or tunics that form drifting
overskirts; softer bodices, with tiny
cap sleeves, less severe than a com
pletely bare shoulder and just as
cool because of air-conditioning
around the arms.
Every fabric in the group rates
as a collector’s item and is treated
as such—with reverent skill to give
the clothes designs that, though
contemporary, are easy, simple and
bound to be lasting. Cottons that
lodk like anything but; silks that
look like cotton but with added lus
tre and glamour are prized exam
ples of the summer “paperweight”
theme. Silk denim is the designer’s
particular pride. In addition, flow
ered chintz has been given a glace
overlay of silk marquisette. Cotton
lace has been combined in ruffled

dresses that compete on even terms
with the most fabulous lace dresses.
Like the paperweights them
selves, the collection has a trans
parent, spun-glass lok; there is a
lot of pink and white in the ^ilk
prints, and the patterns are mostly
in delicate yet compact mille fiori
patterns.
Carrying out the theme of crisp
texture and clear color was a series
of paperweight suits, labeled cotton
tailors. Handled just like the finest
wolens—even lined (with batiste)—
and given the famous Simpson
“shape” of a nipped-in-at-the-waist
jacket and slim skirt, they were as
light-loking yet as indestructible as
the paperweight itself.
Cotton chiffon made a group of
dresses for town wear — literally
dresses to live in. Slip-over jackets
or tunics disguised underneath
bareness. All had neat necklines,
tiny waists, airy skirts to waft in
any breeze.
Emphasizing the Simpson belief
in a new softness in fashions, par
ticularly for festive dresses, was a
series of gossamer silk chiffon
dresses for summer in beautiful
cloudy colors, printed and plain.
Outstanding in the collection was
an all-day dress of purple and
white checked cotton, with a full
gored dkirt slashed high along the j
seams to reveal a slim purple tunic
skirt beneath.
make-up.
Navy is moving to the forefront
as a basic tolor this season, with
shades of mauve and lavender lead
ing the field as costume accents.
Since pink-toned complexions
will best complement these colors,
cosmetics firms are offering a wide
array of clear-pink rouges and
mauve-pink lipsticks.
Spring and Easter
Happiest Season v
Make-Up Goes
Blossom Pink
Cosmetic colors, which blazed
forth in bright orange and russet
shades to match fashion and foliage
last fall, are now assuming more
delicate hues for spring.
By the time warm winds have
unfurled buds on flowering trees,
style-conscious women will have
shifted to a fragile, apple-blossom
Spring and Easter . . . Easter and
spring . . . the two happiest words
in the lexicon of the seasons. |
For look you. In spring does one
crawl, or limp, or lie, or sit? No, in
spring, one, of course, springs!
And at Easter do you find your
self unhappy, dull or disheartened?
No, at Easter, man, woman and
child feel gay and happy, free and
lighthearted.
In spring, everyone feels young
agaih and new again. Young so that
everything is possible, and any
thing can be done. New so that
nothing is stale and nothing is bor
ing and anything is exciting.
At Easter, everyone feels right
again. The long Lenten season of
worry over past faults, of consider
ation of present weaknesses . . . it’s
i all over and done with. Here is Eas
ter again and the period of rejoic
ing has begun.
Spring is a time for new clothes,
new shoes, new ideas, new books,
new foods, new friends. Spring is
the time when houses are cleaned,
and gardens planted; when birds
nest and lambs frolic. Spring is
bright and shining and friendly.
Easter is the time of old friends
greeted newly, of old ideas revital
ized with new fervor, of old reli
gious habits, mental habits, psycho
logical habits all reorganized and
made into new. Easter is golden
and white and warm
