Fashion notes reveal a surge of sleeveless coats jackets and frocks dominating Fifth Avenue windows and Paris inspired designs. From striped cotton corduroy to cerise silk and velvet contrasts these outfits promise a slimmer youthfully bold silhouette for summer while conserving fabric for war relief.
New York theatre fashion notes show gray crepe de chine gowns with four draped flounces and gold neckdetails. Miss Emily Stevens in The Madonna of the Future displays pale gray dress with Georgette sleeves and a gray chiffon hat. A brown satin gown and brown mesh lace ensemble feature gold threads and a velvet sash. Miss Stevens also appears in a pie velvet house gown with silver lace and orchid lining. The Indestructible Wife highlights Miss Minna Gombel in a black angora sweater with white angora collar over a pleated foulard skirt, and a dramatic long sleeved gown with bold lace accents accompanies the athletic look.
Wartime costs and supply challenges fail to dampen glove vogue as colors and elaborate cuffs anchor Paris inspired designs. Designers showcase white and black kids, gray suedes, and embossed embroidery through cuffing, buttoning, and novel motifs while emphasizing durable, well cut options for motorist, formal, and everyday wear.
