Here Are Some Smart Style Tricks
Hollywood Stars Do With Mirrors
By ALICIA HART
1 NEA Staff Writer
Standing, walking and sitting
in front of a mirror studying
yourself is not a shameful dis
play of vanity. Nor is it an hour
wasted, if .you come away with
a good idea for a hair-do, a better-fitting
dress, an effective way
to wear a flower.
Renic of Hollywood, RKO de
signer, who knows from watch
ing the stars whom she dresses
what they do to achieve perfec
tion, says it's the hours spent in
front of mirrors that turn the
tricks.
' "Mai-lone Dietrich will worry
all day about draping a scarf
just so or where to wear a flow
(.v" -q.j Rpnic. "and will trv it
on all the way down to her feet
and Daek up again."
And where will she finally pin
it? On her stomach, says Itenio,
and to' justify the new location
of her corsage she'll have a dress
draped so as to give it a special
spot.
Ginger Rogers' sheer perfec
tion in clothes, says Renic, comes
from viewing herself poir' and
coming in' u Ihrec-liercd mirror
which commands a 20-toot per
spective. According to this de
signer, if more girls would fol
low Ginger's example, and would
walk back and forth so that the
dress under, consideration could
be studied in motion from all
angles- especially from the rear
view there would be fewer er
rors made'in selecting clothes.
More wardrobe hits would be
scored if women would watch
for these points of rear-view be
havior. One is a waistline low
er in the back than the front.

Laraine hit upon by pushing her
