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.

The fashion conspiracy o f hats has created a look of the past, bringing
back the gangster look from head to toe. "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. I , ’» all topped o ff with our Chicago gang look of the
40’s. Black it is— with white remaining faithfully by. This fashion influence
will be strong into the fall and winter. 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.

Reviewing other prospective trends— "outrageous” is also
available— rhinestone fingers curling over the crown and hats sculpted after
playing cards in hearts, spades and diamonds. Parisian, Madame Poulette’s
tradition ranges from the “ Turban” to hats resembling objects from other
planets (maybe a bit eccentric for Portland). Hats to her? “ I t ’s all a matter
o f publicity.”

American designers are basic in form but use extravagant materials, such
as luxurious furs, to create the style o f the wide-brimmer and bowlers. To
Portlanders, I ’m saying, add a bi, o f spice and a key important accessory
lor fall and winter— purchase that one beautiful hat and place your attitude
accordingly.

feet above sea level.

The finishing touch o f a fine straw ha, will be every lady’s ticket to a look
o f cool confidence during this summer’s steamy days. A beautiful sampler
o f the alluring summer straws is waiting to be enjoyed in the June EB O N Y.
The hats come in a variety of striking shapes - from portrait brim to sailor
and an array o f breathtaking colors - from shimmering yellow to sophis
ticated black. A good example is the E B O N Y model’s spectacular m ulti
colored platter accented in silver and gold. This hat will turn a lot of heads
it shields you from the sun’s glare.
Oet set for the sizzling days ahead by accentuating your image with a
beautiful summer straw.
