Schiaporelli says . . .
War has taken
frivolity from
French fashion
"War has taken frivolity. out of
French fashion at least for a
while," says Elsa Schiaparelli, the
vivacious, dark-eyed fashion wizard.
Madame Schiaparelli, in New
York for a short stay, sighed relief
to be in a city where people do
not have to worry about drills and
blackouts. "I am so happy here,"
she said in her flower-banked ho
tel apartment. Flowers were
everywhere on the occasional ta
ble, on her desk. There were lilies,
roses, carnations, and a tiny pome
granate tree with waxy red fruit.
Blackouts are no Joke.
Blackouts are no joking matter
In Paris and they have played a
definite part in Influencing French
fashions, Madame Schiaparelli
said. In an aside, she pointed out
that it took ten days of continual
work to re-wire her own house so
that it could be plunged into dark
ness.
"All my windows are painted
blue, she said, ' for should any
Paris career competition. Pre
arranged conferences with indi
vidual students will be held from
2 to 4 p. m.
The conferences may concern
any type of magazine work,
whether it be writing, fashion de
sign, illustrations, or merchan
dising. Speakers scheduled for talks
later in the series are Miss Dor
othy Coates, placement secretary
of the Katherine Gibbs school;
Feb. 19; Miss Katherine Clay
berger, associate editor of the
Women's Home Companion, March
28; Mrs. Ida Migliario, editor of
Household, date to be announced
later. Other speakers will be pro
cured according to the wants and
needs of students.

Kappa Phi

Humor filters thru.
Still, to a degree, Bhe said, the
Inevitable French sense of humor
filters thru in the creations of the
Paris couturiers. She herself wears
saucy red spats and jewelry of her
own design a stork in flight,
pinned at the neckline; a heavy
bracelet of twisted gold wire and
diamonds; an upswept hairdo; and
thick-rlmmed tortoise shell glasses.
Her dress, of course, has the great
shopping-bag-pockets, one of her
many contributions to fashion of
the year.
Practical, tho not mannish,
clothes will step to the fore from'
now on, the great French designer
predicted. Her daughter, Gogo,
and she have been in uniform for
months.
America, with its love of the
tailored things, responded warmly
to the new trend In the French
fashion, Schiaparelli aald, adding:
"And for this, in a moment of
stress, we are ctcrally grateful."
