New York W The boys who
make dresses for the more frilly
girls of the world have been
having their annual unveiling
ceremonies in Paris, showing
what's new for fall and winter,
and from this distance the whole
business sounds like a holy mess.
Nobody asked me for a phil
osophical opinion, but my notion
always has been that the idea
of putting clothing on the female
body was to keep it fcarm and
to try to make it look pretty, or
fetching.
But the results of the Paris de
signers' latest brainwaves seem
to be not so muati pretty as-well,
just plain ominous. That's the
picture that emerges from the
acres of earnest prose turned out
by the scribes covering the ajhow.
Now you take hats. Are the
new ones pretty? They're down
right scary. Listen to this:
Permanent Cne Wrong
"Hats oftenlook like a frizzled
home permanent gone wrong.
Head hugging and hair hiding,
they look the way a hangover
feels, bulky and fuzzy."
And this: "An enormous hat
which looked like a sea urchin."
Or this: "Latest hats have been
put on a dummy and cut with
a special razor toive a new
fuzzy look."
And still another: "Long, jut-ting-out
bonnets, resembling
dunce caps and blown-up hel
mets ..."
The strange looK in hats that
are sprouting onhe other side
of the ocean inspired a lady in
our office to observe: "They
sound as if they'd be fteal for
girls with pointed heads."
Spent and parting from one,
of the-shows a lady reporter
gasped out a paragraph begin
ning: "Hats are pie-plate flat, lie
smack on top of the head. Upside-down
bowls covering the
hair are worn at any angle. Any
and everything gets into the
hair. Black feather-dusters perch
above the eyes ... a bowl of
sea-moss fresh from off a sea
rock was spiked with a pink
rose and jaSntily tipped one eye
brow." It gets into trfy hair, too. A
woftftn's hair is her crowning
glory, and why should it be top
pedj ith an absurdity of a mon
strosity? "Turbin hats," wrote one jour
nalist, "start at the hairline and
stretch out behind like wind
socks at an airfield."
As for the rest of the body, the
consensus seems to be that this
year it be clothed in stuff that
is shapeless as possible.
"Just a gunny sack with dia
monds," is the way one reporter
described the new dress look
which she said is sweeping Eu
rope. -
Taking the whole effort of the
designing boys with special em
phasis on the hat creations and
trying to find an overall title
for their 1957 work, let's give
it a name it's begging for:
The clown look.
