PARIS FASHIONS.
RUSSIAN PEASANT MODES. BARBARIC EFFECTS. London, August 5. Exhibitions of Paris designers indicate that the dress of the Russian peasant, with silver braid, has been taken as the basic style for winter modes. Brilliant barbaric effects are aimed at. There is much employment of belts and girdles, hung with little metal tags, which tinkle as the wearer walks. No woman can claim to be well dressed unless the costumes are Slav, Caucasian, or at least Balkan. In trimmings, Astrakhan fur and lambs’ wool of all delicate shades will rule, with heavy stand-up collars of the same material around the throat. Skirts will be just a little longer, though they will still stop well above the ankle. Large sleeves and long bodices are prevalent, with cut steel ornaments and other characteristics.
