Much talked about is a cont- in dark dress by this designer brown solft wool. From the front it is Just a slim-skirted tallored dress but from the back It appears to be worn with a three-quarter, matching jacket, allt from waist to hem
in the centre back. This, however, is merely an illusion because the "jacket" ends at the side seams. On the whole, the colours that Capucel has used are fresh and pale although there are some bold tonen. Nävy blue, white and black are the basic tones in his collection, while colours in- clude fern green, straw yellow, brown, orange and purple.
The combination of navy with white is almost inevitable in ab spring collection, but Capucel tloca not just add touches of white for the salce of it. Always It is with a purpose-usually to draw attention to a particular feature of a model. For instance, on a navy blue wool sudt, a round at collar of white pique continues the curving effect of the yoke.
..
The fabrics most favoured by this designer at the moment are basket weave wool tolles, Shet- lands, Cheviots, wool Inits and fancy wool fabrics with bossed designs.
