Rocket Look Promised This Year
By MARY PRIME
Uniled Press Correspondent
New Yoork IP! Fashion
points the way to the "rocket"
look for 1958. We'll be as
sleek and shiny as a guided
missile from the tips of our
hats to the pointed toes of our
shoes.
"The sack will be the main
silhouette in 58, but it will
look like a rocket instead of
a rag." said Eleanor Lambert,
spokesman for the New York
Couture Group.
"Chemises still will have a
loose hanging line, but with
a smooth, built-up shape. You
may think it's a revival of
the 1920 s, but it's only super
related. Fashion history does
n't repeat itself." Miss Lam
bert said.
Besides the chemise, semi
fitted and full-skirted styles
will be seen. "But th petti
coat is dead. Skirts will be
tightly sashed at the waist
but not flared as much," she
predicted, j
Coats are expected to be
straight and narrow or full
and swinging, but not fitted.
Hemlines will go up to at
least 16 inches from the
floor. (Last year they got as
( high as 15 inches).
Taller Hats
Hats will get taller.
"With skirts shorter, hats
must go up." reported the Mil
linery Institute of America.
"When you wear a chemise,
you need good legs, a good
face, and a good hat to frame
the face."
There's a 1920's look to
new bonnets high crowns,
deep brims. Turbans "will
measure as high as 10 inches
at the srown. Top styles will
be turbans, rollers, and Wat
teau types with brims rising
sharply at the back.
More color will show in
hats, from mossy green to cit
rus shades. But black, navy
and the neutrals also will
find favor.
Fabric hats will still be
good, but straws will pre
dominate, either in rough or
fine, smooth textures. Veils
add a new patterned look to
straws around the hat and
tied at the throat.
Colored hosiery gets the
nod again this year. JSpring
shades include, crushed mint,
blue chip, navy, pink and tur
quoise.
No Spikes
The pointed-toed shoe is an
other hold-over from 1957.
This year, heels will be even
lower for evening as well as
daytime.
"And no spiked heels," said
the National Shoe Institute."
We'll see the T-strap in
new forms: multi-colored on
a basic color shoe, looped, or
with vamp strips across the T.
The open-toed, shoe also
will be back "because the
nail polish people have put
sex on toenails. The she in
dustry can't fight it," said
Helene O'Hara, fashion direct
or of a leather company (Al
lied Kid).
Week's Sewing Buy
Look for lots of color in
shoes, the two-color shoe,
painted vamps, white soles,
colored linings and "red in
everything."
j Jewerly will be less clanky
I and heavy. The single strand
I necklace is expected to come
back.
Hair will be bright and
small, loose waves. Watch for
more - tints, fewer bleaches.
Top hair chades will be soft
blonde, red, and bright gold.
