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."
To freshen plastic uphol
stery in cars, wipe with a mild
solution of sal soda, a table
spoon per half bucket of
water.
