“THE_natural_waist-
line is IN" most of Paris, London and Italian fashion-designers decree. Result, the Em- pire line is OUT. But what is the fashionable German woman wear- ing?
THE EMPIRE LINE!
While the rest of the world is reverting to the natural waistline, Ger- man couture houses are stressing the Empire line this summer and getting away with it."
'German women, often at- cused of being stolid, don't really want old-fashioned clothes, but neither do they follow extreme fashions that go out of date quickly.
So the German designérs have produced their inter- pretutions of the Empire line--basically simple in a good cloth, proving that it be practical. "Paris inspired-German adapted" could well be said of their garments.
