PARIS FASHION NOTES,
(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. ISABEL RAMSAY_)
VIONNET CELATIONS-
PARIS May 6th
What collection of Spring models would be complete, without a showing by Madeleine Vionnet, that foremost figure of the Big Six who decide each season what colours. lines and details will be worn by the world1 Certainly not a col lection that called, itself comprehensive, Jor, does not. Vionnet, in concert with the ave other designers whose names are world-famed, plan a sensor's fashions long months before it is actually at band, forcing on the world by the sheer weight of their influence the colour, the line or the detail which eventually be comes the rage Was it not Vionnet, also, who thought of the idea of equip ing each one of her models with her. finger impression as a means of out- witting the fashion thieves with which Paris abounds who obtain the models of the mighty ones by book or by crook, copy then and sell them broadcast for A quarter the price? But, it was not only this ingenious device that made Vionnet famous; rather was it her creaA- tions which are truly works of art. INDIVIDUALITY THE KEYNOTE.
||
She repeat this effect over and ove again in a number of exquisite models in white asin, the blazing brilliance of the crystal beads seen against the shining white satin being indescribably effective. As well as white, Vionnet is showing a number of models in carni, and, char- treuse, and embroidering them in the way I have just described, in gold, silver and bronze bends.
SLASHING THE DECOLLETACE
now
Another original idea is the decolletage that in slashed across diagonally in front, "so that the Tuaterial reaches up to and covers one shoulder, and slants across and inishes under the armpit the other side. This is an effective dine, but treacherous to wear unless you are blessed with beauti ful shoulders that can stand being showr off in this ruthless fashion. More usual and, certainly easier to wear, is the Vion- net V neck decolletage that finishes off a gown it. a deep V. that exposes just as much of your back as you wish. In. fact, this line is so much worn that a new fashion has sprung up to keep it company, of wearing pearl, and other zecklets, even, a new kind of neck let. A long rope of pearls or ornament- al beads, instead of hanging down in front, is now caught tightly round the throat, and made to hang down its full, length at the back; sometimes the necklet' is caught round the throat so that the remainder falls in a close loop down.che back, sometimes it is merely thrown round the neck so that the remainder hangs in wide loop down the back serving if anything could, to 6 in the great space of bare flush." The new necklet I
Vionnet is, above all, individual in her areations; there is always. distinct outlics and an abundance of small details that would single out any one of ber models, even without the tell-tale thumb markt. She uses triangular. square and circular pieces of material and lets them into skirt, coat and home-referred to, does away with a necklet as at odd places; she places, the waist at a normal line, but then adds darts and tucks and pleats so that it changes and disappears a dozen times or so about its circumference and one finds it hard to say where it actually starts and where it inishes; her skirts are more voluminous than those of most designers although they are Berer awkwardly so; they man age somehow just to miss being skimpily narrow without attaining to the bulky one might say, they have a "spring" about then that is decidedly becoming to tall, solidlyses women. A method Vionnet employs frequently to introduce graceful faliness into a skirt is that of inserting cone-shaped pieces. She even carries the Bahr idea into her coats, setting the apex of these at the neck and shoulder so that the line gradually widens out to forin She does away with a Baring skirt. belts almost completely, substituting in stead at the waist line, a cut that takes an inward curve or a collection of tucks in wave designs that just, indicates the waist and takes away from the "sloppy" look of the waistless gown without creat- ing the dowdy effect of a ton-definite
waist line.
RAGLAN AND BELL SHAPED SLEEVER.
Just as Jenny created the halgh to line, so Vionnet has created the V. neck- line in a way all her own. Usually her necks are cut without either collar or finish of any kind, a difficult fent to achieve and still retain an elegant, finished effect. As a change, she some times gathers the point of the Y. by means of a series of horizontal shirring, and adds a jabot or flowing tie made of similar material to that of which the †dress is made.
Another detail Vionnet favours is the Raglan sleeve, also the bell shaped sleeve that billows out from the elbow down. The former variety she uses in Coats and jackets, the latter in drukkes. This season she is showing in her Arabian Nights house of the Champs Elysées, a number of suits made of kasha, reps and corded silk. Quite a number of these are equipped with vests made of silk and satin that are as masculino in cut as though they had been taken, Trom the pattern of a man's suit. As to colour, she is using white a great deal, also most colours in the palette scheme in particularly bright shades, "for Vioanet, all the other big designers of Paris this season, is setting herself the task
a circlet and shows it instead-as-a-long strand of pearls or beads, each and be ing finished as rule with a pendant or decorative motif; just where it will clasp tightly round the neck, there is amalier strand, from two to three inches long, that joins the two principal strands together so that the finished effect is that of cireles of pearls or beads round the neck in front and a straight narrow pics across the base of the neck at the huck catching two strands that fall in irregular lengths down the back. Vion- net was not actually the creator of either this nicklet or mode of wearing circular necklets, but her deep V. back had cer- tainly something to do with their being created, for Nature, so they say, abhors a vacuum, and the bare expanse of flesh produced by the, deep V. and U. decolletages of Viannet was as much this as could well be imagined before the idea of Elling it in with dangling pearls and beads was thought of. THE FEMININE FRINGE.
Another personal detail of Vionnet's collection is the amount of silk fringe used. thus proving the belief of this designer at least that the fringe an a trimming not as dead na some would have had us believe. In fact, some of ber most effective ensembles of evening wrap and gown are made of white satin and trimmed with row upon row of heavy ark fringe worked on in zig-zag line. As Vionnet is above all a creator or graceful, elegant clothes rather than those which ana at Tard, smart effects, it is only patural that she should continue to champion fringes, perhaps the most temi- tine and graceful of all adjuncts of fashion, long after other designers have abandoned it for more formal, modern forms of decoration.
