COLOUR IN CLOTHES
SCARLET TROUSER SUITS HOBBLE SKIRTS FOR NIGHT LONDON. Dec. 13. Leading London designers, including Molyneux, Martnell, and Stiebel, co-operated in the first fashion show in an attempt to brighten London and at the same time raise funds to provide games for the Services. They are using more wool than ever, and suggest bright canary yellow hand-knitted stockings, to wear with a vivid purple cycling suit, or red and white striped stockings with a brief red pleated skirt and pale blue top. Scarlet wool trousered suits are designed to enliven golf courses. Daytime freedom in fashion contrasts strangely with the mincing walk engendered at night by the newest hobble skirts.
