Portland Observer, June 3, 1982 Page 9 Fashion Page CELEBRATE MAD HATTERS...................... HATS, HATS, AND HATS.... Diamond wedding rings from Stevens Af Son. A very special way to celebrate very special commitment. Looking ahead lo Fall and Winter for what brings head coverings aglow.... New York Seventh Avenue fashion groupies predict a love affair for the new look o f hats. The star and mainstay being the new shape o f the classic l-edora. It's a flirty, mannish look worn low over the eyebrows, cocked over to the side and sometimes worn to totally cover the head. The turn o f the brim creates an attitude and the crown’s depth is a point o f view to consider. Shallow or deep— but it does depend on the wearer— "creased crown to sloping brim s." Remember, when choosing your basic hat for fall and winter, your selection process should consider the shape o f the face and size o f the head. Overall body shape and figure are also o f importance. Your season’s accessory purchases should be in tune to the colors of black, brown, beige and burgundy. Simplicity and elegance are the keys to your purchase. Newer hat design fashion concepts are the riding cap, the black ringmaster top hat and the gaucho— complete with long feather. Remember, its only a fashion trend for today’s market— but in keeping with the inspiration o f looking and feeling good. The coy cloche - B i l l Blass The stylish appeal o f the coy cloche is a bit more difficult to wear, but it will require the wearer to bare the total fashion concept. The diamond felt construction o f the coy cloche is soft with a simplicity o f line. The good news about hats is that the total fashion concept pulls the idea together, and speaks to a whole new generation o f ladies who have never before worn hats.

"T h e Dandies" are fashionably created and inspired by movies such as V id o r/V ic to ria and Chariots o f Fire; the street attire o f London or costumes from Guys and Dolls, the hi, musical in London. The Dandies dress it up with their bow ties and bibbed shirts; dressed up brigade o f vested Wall Street captains; rakish tuxedos and waif-like poor boys.

M en’s wear look will be dominant, however, the feminine air will remain with ruffled blouses, curly hair and hair pulled up softly or tucked neatly in a strategic area.

Parisian, Madame Poulette’s tradition ranges from the “ Turban” to hats resembling objects from other planets (maybe a bit eccentric for Portland).
