Denim Does a ‘Cinderella* ActTaking inspiration from the '30s, Hazel Blackman uses oyster-white denim with tiny flecks of color in a vest and longuette skirt (left) paired with a tie-dye chiffon blouse with full sleeves and wide self-sash Ruth Graves of Gussie and Becky creates a striped gold and blue denim outfit (center) that can be worn as a minidress, over pants for a pants suit, and with a wide sash that can double as a turban. Wide, fringed, matching triangle makes a fitting cape for the sguare neckline. On the right track with railroad-stripe denims, the jacket and jeans set (right) from Mehari International is ideal for crisp fall days. Jacket has industrial brass buttons that conceal a zipperBy HELEN HENNESSY NEA Women's EditorNEW YORK — (NEA) The way that designers have been coming up with new inspirations in fashions done in denim is dazzling. The little plain jane fabric of yesterday that masqueraded in utilitarian navy blue jeans or dungarees has more than come into its own in the past few years.This fall, with a whole new range of colors, stripes, plaids and patterns and a variation of weights in a softer hand, denim is seen in everything from dressy dinner wear to street coats.Look for denim in a variety of pants looks — inbright autumn-hued stripes ot corn yellow, pumpkin and golden brown. You'll have your choice of pants with modified bell-bottoms, wide straight leg, patch pockets, slash pockets, flap pockets, button, snap and zipper fronts.Pants suits, such as one designed in gold and blue striped denim by R u t h Graves of Gussie and Becky is really a minidress with matching pants. A wide sash doubles as a turban and a triangular fringed scarf can be worn as a kerchief or cape.The longuette look gets a denim treatment in Hazel Blackman’s vest and long skirt in off-white denimflecked with bits of color and matched to a diaphanous tie-dye chiffon blouse with long full sleeves.Patio wear particularly lends itself to denim inspiration with sleeveless, widelegged jumpsuits seen in solid as well as in colorful stripes.Of course, what the designer-. are discovering (and what the teen-age group has long known) is that denim, in a soft hand, is cotton-comfortable to wear and easy to care for.So with new colors and patterns, easy-care denim becomes a wardrobe pet of women who choose fashions for flair as well as practicality.(Newspaper Enterprise Assn.)
