ROUND about the turn of the Century the Gibson Girl was Woman's model for all that was elegant and dignified. Then, starting on a long succession of changes in fashion, model (and Woman) donned motoring goggles and veil and rode off in a cloud of dust. Today Woman climbs to 4000 feet above sea level to inspect the latest styles. Recently Pan American Airways, in conjunction with an Auckland department store, staged a "fashion show of the air' which 1ZB's Marina broadcast in her "Women's Hour" as the models went through their paces. In the clipper "Lightfoot," cruising over Auckland, potential customers watched a show of 1953 swim suits, sun frocks, cocktail and garden party wear.
