wearing London
By Joan

LONDON,
Fashion
TILL London establish a new fashion line this season? Very soon the Incorporated Society of London Designers will open their salons to the press, and we shall know whether our skirts are to ascend still further, whether our shoulders are to develop angles, and, whether our waists are to remain where nature intended them.
It is significant this year that Paris has deliberately decided to show to the world almost six days before her normal time. She had obviously hoped in this way to undercut British fashion. But she has not succeeded. The London shows, normally spread over a week, will all take place two days before the Paris shows. The Paris move makes London wonder. Is it possible that Paris, a city regarded as second to none for design, afraid of competition from across the Channel? When London concentrates, as she did last season, or fine fabrics, and finer workmanship," she can present the most elegantly tailored collections in the world.
What are they wearing?
Meanwhile, what are London's best-dressed women wearing? You can probably guess the answer-lhe classic tailleur, with variations.
The suit may be belted or plain, with skirt slashed, pleated or straight, Revers are high or low, curved or pointed. In obe respect they are allie-bultor- ing usually begins at, or below, the waist.
The nest collection of tailored suits and coats was shown recently by SIMON MASSEY., From it, we have chosen a suit in black worsted barathen with interest at shoulder level (illustrated here).
Following the high line was a cult with pointed pockets protruding obova the shoulders, in a soft pewter shade. The collar was notched in match the
pointed pockets.
Rover variations
From double revers, we progressed to treble revers, each one curving from under the other, and each get a little lower than the last. Pockets with threo curving flaps matched the triple revers, and the effect was rounded and feminine, Other rever, wid

Sweater news
How do you like the idea of ane tweed stitched sweaters, to match or contrast with o auit? They fi rither better than the knitted variety. Instead of slotting a scarf through lapel button-hole, Spectator varied the idea by having a slit in the waistline, through which the blouse tash was allowed to fall.
They called one exolle model "Mikado". It was in black, with the wide sleeves begin- ning almost below the waistline, giving e caps effect. Large black velvet cuffs turneel buck edged with jet.
The slim skirt-line was broken in some casus by a back-flare of pleals, beginning below the knee. Braiding was und extensively. Wa noticed it particularly on a dark iodine-suit, with twelve-inch pleats round the hem, topped by braid, which curved also round the collar. Brald buttons trimmed the collar, pockets, and hem of another suit.
Coat vogue
The coats In this collection were larga casual Joose affairs, with ble patch Deckels, low revers, encrmous collars. Some were in men's uiting, with brilliant contrasting inlog A black coat had huge tartao collars and cuffs. A bottle-green coal had a black velvel deep curved collar and culla,
KOUPY showed us coals exactly like a man's, with no redeeming features. One was in light Harris tweed, with leather buttons, patch pockets, deep cuffs, and a vent at the back. A new fabric, FLEISCHI, was used for a number of full-skirted coats, half-belted. It closely resembled soft mohair, with an ongora finish.
Sults were original. One, in check, had scurves attached to the shoulders which 'could be tied in many ways, tucked through the belt, or left hanging neatly at the back, like another variation of the flying panels. They were lined with scarlet.
