"Autumn trip to Borlin" is the title of this notty costuma from tho Barlin fashion house of Uli Richter: It is made out of camel hair, and the belt at the back produces a particularly loose-fitting effect. The dark brown fur cop and the long gloves provide an effective contrast to the pastel tone of the costume.

VER the boards of the Berlin fashion houses mannequins are now parading in elegant autumn costumes, loosely fitting afternoon dresses and winter coats made out of costly furs.
Buyers from all over the world have arrived for this varied "late inspection" for here on the Spree, in contrast to the exclusive Paris fashion centre, all the models go straight into mass- production..
The proclamations of the haute couture on the Seine are certainly taken into. nc- count, but the collections from Berlin are meant for everyday wear, and are therefore far cheaper than in Paris. This does not mean they are in any way lacking in elegance or noblesse. Each dress is a tribute to feminine grace.
Accessories
The West Berlin fashion houses -Staebe-Seeger, Gehringer und Glupp, Richter, Oestergaard und Schwabe-owe their Interna- ilonal reputation above all to their inventiveness and their dependable working up of good- quality materiais. The attractive collections are supplemented by
an abundant
Netection of
fashionable accessories.
Not only handbags and hats must match the clothes, but also ornaments and shoes, in order to fun the basic law of elegance: the harmonious general effect. The essential characteristics of the Berlin autumn and winter fashion include loose upper parts, low-set sleeves, conts in princess or wide cape style, as well as fur ties and scarf motifs.
The so-called "middle-work- men" are considered to be a special peculiarity of the Berlin fashion centre. They specialise in particular articles of clothing
⚫ Short sleeves and a high collar lend a wilful charm to this velvet dress from the fashion house of Richter. A brooch can be worn as an orna- mant. The carelosaly ticd bolt and the bloused upper part revealed that this dress was conceived in the fashion centre of Borlin.
