On Seventh Avenue»Sweaters that look like coats,suits take over fielddresses,By Beraadine Morris(C) 1973 N. Y. Times News ServiceNEW YORK — On Seventh Avenue the calendar says it’s fall and winter. Hemlines hover around the knee. Figures are not distorted by bulky or unwieldly cuts.And the key to the season is sweaters, just as it was in the Paris ready-to-wear collections a few weeks ago. Not just sweaters, of course. But coats that look like sweaters, suitB that loOk like them and dresses that are as supple and comfortable as any old pullover.Sable scarves^'Mollie Parnis scored a triumph with a collection that Was accessorized in the old elegant couture manner but was as casual as sports clothes. The T-strap shoes and pumps were by David Evins, the sable scarves, ostrich boas and caps draped like turbans were by Hubert Latimer. Latimer, who was* recently with Christian Dior-* New York, has just joined the‘ concern.! Between the turbans and the sandals, Latimer provided a coat that looked as if it had been knitted — no, crocheted, with I big stitches — dresses that were I said to be hand-knitted, cardi-* gans that slipped over the shoul-* ders and were made in either jer-‘ sey or beads. Sportswear ideas J all, even the beaded cardigan.I ; “In” lookBorne jersey styles, including a ; jumper with a drawstring waist,* are intriguingly striped in I brown, red and navy, the com-t bination of colors was so dis-; tinctive the designer repeated it ! in sequins. It's a glittering col-; lection.* - Similar combinations of ; Sportswear and glitter turn up inthe Mollie Parnis Boutique collection designed by Morty Suss-man at prices that are perhaps a third of the parent division’s. (The boutique clothes run from $90 to $365). For day, the “in”took is represented by the knitted coat over a sweater and skirt or a knitted suit with a long, long jacket.Hairpin laceAt night, there is a choice of long, glittery princess dresseswith plunging necklines, satinpants outfits or a batch of knee-length jersey dresses. Or perhaps you would prefer a semi-caftan in hairpin lace, You’re not locked into anything.Sweater coats have swept the field. Even Originala’s into them. That’s the company that makes status cloth coats for women who can afford sable. It has a new designer, too, Dominic Toubeix, who learned his trade in Paris, but has been hanging around Seventh Avenue for about a decade. He picked up a Coty Award along the way.Dominic has a lot of other things going too. His status shape for coats is narrow, but not tight, and slightly high-waisted. Some coats are piled high with big fluffy fox collars, some are in double-faced fabrics, plaid on one side, solid color onthe other.But the newest looking styles are the ones that look knitted on jumbo needles. They have leather edges or borders of woven fabrics. They include suits as well as coats, all with a casual air.In time of sorrow, the wisdom of the scriptures can be a great source of consolation. Such words from the Bible inspire all our memorial services.HTo every tiling there i is a season, and a time to every purpose underV’,- I—****■ Ithe heavenECCLtSlflSlts IIWArm I
