Women Editors Criticize Fashion Show for Russia Gay Pauley By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -UPD- The U.S. fashion mission to Moscow has eliminated an integrated 7L wedding scene. But there will be an integrated company pic nic sketch. A con tvoversial $60,000 Rus sian sable coat which one fashion editor charged was like "carrying coals to New castle" will remain in the 400 costume collection. Changes in the half-hour fashion . exhibit came about Tuesday partly because of criticism from 41 of 250 fash ion editors in town to cover fall and winter collections. They saw a rehearsal of the show Sunday night and drew up a petition protesting that it was not "representative of the American way of life." The petition did not make any reference to the mingling of White and Negroes in some of the tabelaux. But some re porters voiced criticism of the civil wedding scene in which White couple were shown as witnesses for a Negro bride and groom. - Misguided" Gesture" Ruth Quint, fashion editor of the New Haven, Conn., Register, said she thought" the racially mixed wedding party was not a ' true social scene it seemed to me a mis guided good - will gesture." Others, however, considered it a good way to "offset the bad publicity we've had world wide because of the segrega tion row." Leonard Hankin, head of the fashion industries presen tation committee which" will open the show in Moscow on July 25, said that weddmg scene and another, showing a garden wedding, will be dropped from the show, not because of the criticism but because "the show had to be shortened." A cathedral wed ding, party 'will remain. Prin cipals m that scene are all White; the Negro members of the cast appear as guests. Graydon HeartsilL fashion editor of the Dallas Times- Herald, who helped circulate the petition, said that "actu ally- it was some of the girls from the north who brought up the race thing." She said most of the sign ers objected primarily because they "felt the exhibit pictured us as a frivolous nation . . . at play most of the time. It did not show that we work damned hard for our luxu ries." Neglected Working Woman. The sharpest and most widespread criticism was that the show neglected fashions for the working woman-either at home or outside it. . Hankin said all hands in volved in the privately-financed exhibition, which is costing the industry $200,000, saw the need for changes the minute the rehearsal ended. The petition from the 41 reporters arrived Monday, he said, and he immediately wrote each signer to ask for more detailed suggestions. It wasn't all brickbats. Lois Fegan, women's editor of the Jersey City, N.J. Journal, call ed it a "pretty good cross section of American life, al though not much emphasis on career girl fashions." Kathy Louf akis, women's editor of the Morgantown, W. Va. Dominion-News, called the show "a good propaganda picture." The fashion show uses 47 models a few are profession al, but most are amateurs rep resenting typically city and suburban families, tots, teens, college students, young cou ples and a great-grandma. Three of the models are Negro -one a professional, the other two an engaged couple." Few Campus Clothes One editor objected because the "typically American" jun ior prom was missing, and because there weren't more campus clothes. Another said the show "pictured every oth er American woman as wear ing pants." Cathryn McCune, women's editor of the Tulsa, Okla. Tribune, was happy to see a rock 'n' roll scene dropped "The Russians don't like that music anyway." Evelyn Hannay, fashion and beauty editor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle, and one of the. petitioners, called the show "not very realistic." The "golden mean" of a woman's spending on a dress is $25, she said but most of the 'clothes were for the higher income brackets. Hankin said 30 per cent of the woman's clothes shown sell for less than $25. He said he thought the sable would remain in the exhibit "to show the Russians what American technology and styling can do for one of their products."
