Many a fash

vacates the

one "must" for the well
dressed woman's wardrobe,
because It's safe for almost
any occasion. Miss Cashin dis
agreed. "I think you have to look
and feel smashing to wear
black," said the award win

for the girl with the good tan,
the shining head of hair, the
vibrant look. I think color is
much preferable otherwise."
Miss Cashin, a native of
San Francisco, demoted the
little black dress during an
interview In which she pre
dicted fashion Is headed for

painter Inventor, whose
mother was a dressmaker.
"But it is always changing.
The direction now seems to
ward natural clothes, unaf
fected clothes, to fit today's
way of living."
"We are not the 'mannered
society' we once were," she
continued. "Nobody leans
against a mantelpiece, posed
"I think housing trends and
clothing go together," she
said. "Both are a manner of
living. And the trend now is
to Informality.
"Closets influence me
strongly in design. You can't
do intricate, what I call tor
tured garments today. They
have to be stored in big
closets, and who has them?
"Because closets are small,
I make clothes that can fold.
This means they also travel
well. Take the Poncho, a
Cashin trademark. You can
store it anywhere."
Robert Riey, design con
sultant at the Brooklyn Mu
seum, recently wrote of Miss
Cashin, after the museum
honored her with a retrospec
tive exhibition of her designs:
"Her most distinctive gar
ments are cut without seamed
shaping, flat as a Japanese
kimono. The plane geometry
of her ponchos, togas, man
tles and shifts has become the
signature of her belief in the
simple mobility of her
clothes."
Now, Sports Illustrated
Magazine has named her the
designer of 1963, adding an
other award to a list which
already includes two from the
New York fashion critics and
a citation from the Philadel
phia Museum college.

, Miss Patricia Beacham, chairman of the committee which
planned the recent 1963 Junior-Senior Prom of Eagle Point
High school, is pictured here with her escort, Kenneth Gooch,
a senior, as the worked with decorations for the event held
at Rogue Valley Country club. The theme of the dance was
"Moon River" and the committee had designed a "river"
in a bed of foil. Water had been placed in the "river" and
with the addition of dry ice, vapor was supposed to float
up and create a misty atmosphere around the orchestra plat
form. Alas, 50 pounds of dry ice had been sent instead of the
20 ordered, and when it was added to the "river" the whole
thing froze. Miss Beacham reported that although no dreamy
atmosphere was created for the dancers, the men of the
orchestra enjoyed the evening very much since they were
comfortably cool rather than too warm as is often the case,
A moon made from glass and tinfoil and large murals painted
by the committee and hung back of the orchestra turned out
to be effective and helped create a convincing "Moon River"
atmosphere. (Knackstedt photo)
