sensation of the season by decree

La Roche also went along with
the ethers of the Paris pack by
showing suits with long jackets.
Some had fur-trimmed collars,
one doubling as a hood. One hip
length jacket in lilac plaid had a
button panel down the right side
of the back to emphasize length.
The models wore pale makeup,
some of them hardly any lipstick,
and wore high fur hats.
A debate on the Dior hemline
raged through Europe and In the
United States almost as violently
as the debate over Christian
Dior's "new look" of 1947 a style
condemned by many and worn by
all.
The Duchess of Windsor, peren
nially one of the world's 10 best
dressed women, was reported in
favor of Dior's "I960 look" though
she did moan, "How will 1 get
in and out of taxicabs?"
If you were male and French,
the reaction was "excellent!"
If you were female with pretty
legs the reaction was coy but af
firmative: "The short skirts are
lovely if you can afford to wear
