IT'S BEEN hardly two weeks
ago since a cable from Paris
announced the introduction of
the daring Pantaloon Skirt by
the celebrated modistes of Paul
Poiret and Doucet, and here is
one on display at the Meier &
Frank Store today!
i m
It is called the Pantaloon
Aviation Suit exactly as
sketched to the right and al
though the name is startling
perhaps, the skirt itself, as you
will see, hus not an extremely
eccentric appearance.
Commenting upon the new
fashion, M. Poiret says: "Soon
er or later the women will wear
trousers, but the first trouser
skirts that we make must not
have the appearance of being
trousers they must look high
ly conventional we must bring
them up by degrees.''
On Display Today in 'Win
