THE WORLD OF WOMEN

Paris, the world of fashion is evolving in a natural, conservative mavement in tune with the times in which we are living. Women are reaching for dignity, taste" and charm, but also a modified simplicity. My mid-season col- lection, therefore, is a step on. ward from my winter collection,. in which I dared to lower the waistline and have since found vindication of my judgement.

Because of the time at which a mid-season collection is shown, hardly two months after the big winter collection, it would be wrong to consider it as a direct Indication of the future mode. Prematurely created, as they are- In this respect, they must show a certain reserve and cannot go too far into' novelty.

Mid-Season a Barometer. During the times of normal evolution, when fashion changes. slowly on an admitted theme, these mid-season models are only tuteresting to nie as a barometer. But when mode has recently been subjected to important, even brutal change, as in the case of my winter collection, the mid- season styles. take significance. They are created on indications taken from the reac- tions of women.

The new mode has been widely discussed, though not so much as that of a few years ago when I reacted against the skirt showing the knees, The discussion has confirmed the original idea and is a natural sequence of women's admisson of the new style. This, therefore, is the principal theme of my mid-season collection.

Simplicity Is Formula, Mid-season collections. are al ways devoted to certain simplicity of style and that is the formula that I have adopted. Normally, the more simple the dress the more the creative idea must be perated. providing it is done in the right direction and that wo- brought out in order to avoid the good taste.

men have given their approval of commonplace. The result is that, It is too early to speak of the the subtle change that, has come in their simplicity the mid-season future tendency, but I think we about during the past few months. models can be very characteristic may find encouragement in the I am content to work on this and much fantasy may be incor. knowledge that we are moving in theme. «
