PARIS FASHIONS
SKIRTS VERY FULL. Despite war scares, strikes and revolutions all over Paris busy fingers are fashioning exquisite accessories to inspire trade throughout the world. Seamstresses, embroiderers, famous artists, lace makers, button makers, mannequins, couturiers, the whole industry, in fact, is determined to make 1939 a landmark in fashion history. Every aspect of the fashion business in Paris is traditional and interesting. The little embroiderer will never do as fine work in any other city. She depends for ideas on the dissolute artist in Montmarte, who gets his colour notes from his little friend the midinette. And so it goes on. Fashion is a personal thing nursed in Paris to build a great industry. This year sees complete colour change, particularly beautiful in woollen fabrics, and the completion of a style change. Not for years have skirts been so full. Never before have so many spring and summer models been in wool, and never before has wool been so enchantingly feminine.
