P6g 4 ine bummer heuiOaK.au i uesday, August I, . 1 966 Love Fads Boh 3 cid Dan Piller British singing groups may have drained a sonsiderable amount of gold out of the Ilnited States, but they did leave behind something for Americans to wear mod fashion. Unlike most other phenonv ena, the location of the be sinning of mod fashion can be pinpointed exactly . Carnaby St.. London. It was here that designer John Ste phan set up a small men clothing shop five years ago At first, mod fashion was lim ited mostly to tight-fitting blue-ieans style trousers and turtle-neck sweaters. British singers expoeted a more lib eral brand of mod to Amer ican later. Nothing Exclusive The turtle-neck sweater is still the staple of the mod syle. but no single outfit can be branded as exclusively mod. Shirts and n e c k t i e. s whch feature polka-dots and floral designs, high rising col lars and wide cuffs, can be found in the wardrobe of any "switched on" young man. Jackets have taken on decided military look. Shiny brass buttons and epaulets now adorn sportcoats. T h double-breasted jacket is mak ing a comback via mod. Also popular are corduroy coats. Suede Shoes Tigh-fittmg trousers are 170 men To Step In Comfort By Pat Pike The big news for fall fash ions in footwear is COM PORT. Heels will be lower, toes wider and rounder. According to one Lincoln -Shoe store manager, "We will no longer have to fit a cus tomer for two sizes larger than normal in order to ac commodate the pointed toe." Mid-Heel Emphasis Spike heels will be out. Heels this fall will range from Wt to 2Vi inches, or mid-heel on down to the low block heel One shoe department has pre dicted that 90 per cent of the heels would be of the low variety this fall to go with the new dress styles. In heels pump styles will be extremely popular with trims ranging from buckles to bows. One downtown Lincoln mer chant said that bows would be "very big," while another is featuring the Puritan look with large, square silver or gold buckles. Dressy Look For 'the very dressy look in heels merchants are featuring the sling back or cut-away sides, and the two-color shoe Suedes, calf and reptiles will all be shown although there will also be some patent in both black and the new deep reds. Loafer Come-Back The loafer will remain a popular item in flats with the penny-loafer making a strong come-back. Dress flats will come in a wide variety of colors and materials. Particularly popu lar will be the brushed leath er and many of the dress flats f ature cut-away sides and buckles. One squared-toe flat with a double lace is reminis cent of a toe-dancer's ballet shoe and comes in brushed leather in several colors. Color Variety Although the basic black and brown will still be the most popular, there will be a wide variety of new colors to choose from including off shades of green, gold, bur gundy, beige, wine, mulberry, navy and grey. Browns this year come in many shades ranging from the very light to the very dark. Boots will still be "in." One local dealer said, "I think there is going to be a lot of interest in boots this fall." Most boots will feature the back zipper in both flat and high heels. mandatory. An additional twist to trousers has come up in the form of wild wool-plaid slacks. Suede shoes, whicn were popularized by an Amer ican singer, Elvis Presley, have been taken over by mod. Most mod shoes cover the an kle, and many mod-wearers clad themselves in boots, tucri ing the trousers inside. Strange as it may seem, mod fashion has done a great deal to restore the Edwardian influence in clothing. The elongated double-breasted jacket with an Edwardian I necktie can be seen ouen m London. Western Mod Although the wild west would seem to be as remote from London as the surface of the moon, western attire has become "in" lately. West ern clothing, with certain mod modifications, is considered acceptable for formal occa sions along Carnaby St. Anyting originating in Lon don would have to make con cessions to the constant treat of rain. The umbrella, or "brolly," will do the job nice ly for an up-to-date mod. Brillies have become lart of the regular attire for the more formal mod style, regardless of the weather. Felminie Mod Styles Although mod clothing or iginated with boys, girls have developed their own corre sponding styles. Perhaps be cause they don't have a large number of singing groups to act as models, the girls have taken to wearing clothing re markably akinto mens' wear. It's not uncommon at all I to see girls walking down the streets of London in regular business suits- Slacks (bell bottoms are "out" this year) have become suitable even for formal occasions. Feltor corduroy caps, popularized by the Beatles, have been takeno over by the girls as their own. Boots are also commonplace with girls. Hair styles go right along with the clothes. No self-respecting mod would think of appearing in public without his hair in the familiar Bea lies," wear their hair long and straight. Mod has become big busi ness as well as big style. jonn Mepnan nas oeen en riched by $15 million because of mod. A complete mod out fit for boys can cost as high as $150. Jackets alone can reach the price of $120 and cynics insist that the infusion of British music and mod clothing is merely an at tempt by England to regain their lost colonies. If that hap pens, we can comfort our selves by knowing that at least we will be well-dressed. . i , !t l W 4 J (I :: ft'" f ' I ' " ' if ' I , IM i -i I f . -, .

Lift V7' Space-Age Reflected In New Hairstyles The big decision again this year for girls will be whether or not to cut their locks as both the long and short will be "in". By Ellen Carlsen A recent newspaper article was headlined, "Hairstyles Do they reflect their times?" And now, as if in answer, the hairstyles forecast for fall have been officially tabbed as , Astro Curve hair fashions. named after the idea of the space age. According to the Official Hair Fashion Committee of the National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association, the styles are "dominantly young and out of this world." Curves are the dominant feature of the styles. The curves are dressed and cut in to the hair to give a flowing movement ot line to the style and a curvy silhouette to the head. Orbit bangs and comet curls fit the fashion, as well as satellite hair pieces for special occasions. Hair is out so that the vol ume of hair is on one side. The styles are fitted close at the back, and the styles are short. With that word "short" V aried Colors Kick-Off Fall Footwear Styles cordovan have in depart The latest thing in cocktail dresses is this sparkly gray and white striped T-Shirt dress. A variation of the new body dress, it can be worn with ease and comfort. Moss, navy blue, and whisky shades vaded the footwear ments this fall. Shoe styles for the college man are somewhat similiar to last years with ewo major exceptions. This fall should see a decided increase in the number of men wearing sad die shoes in cordovan and black. Also watch for the ap pearance of navy blue, a new color in shoes this fall. Popularity of Blue There is some controversy among downtown merchants as to the predicted popularity of the blue shoe. Some feel that it's just a passing fad which will last a short time, while others feel it is going to be a more permanent item in the college man's shoe ward robe. It was explained by one salesman that because these shoes are of such a dark shade they appear at first glance to be black. They are designed to give a subtle ac- Hours Changed A change in the Nebraska Union hours for the period be tween summer sessions and fail opening has been an nounced by Mr. Dave Youn kin, manager of East Cam pus Student Union.

Last years' popular penney loafer is back in stride again this year. Both grained and smooth leather will be big on campus. Also watch for the "tassel shoe" which should be out soon. Last year's wax hide, according to merchants, will not be as popular this year. Wingtip Necessity The wingtip will again be a necessity for the college man. This year's differences will be found in the varying colors. In addition to the traditional browns and black the fall colors include moss (green), navy blue, and whiskey shades. To be prepared for any oc casion local merchants sug gested that the well dressed collegian should have four pairs of shoes. Shoe Assortments For football and other ac tive wear, tennis shoes and camp mocs should be appro, priate. For campus casual wear, penney loafers or saddle shoes were recommended.

In 1908, her hair Was long and piled atop her head. But she wasn't without her critics. A Ladies Home Journal article of that year reproached her saying "to arrange the hair in the present preposterous styles. ..has reached the point where it is the subject of cari catures by the comic maga zines. Then the hair met the scis sors in 1921 and the same magazine reported "homes wrecked and engagements broken because of clipped tresses." Even the short-haired girls of that day wondered, "Can one grow old and gray still with short hair?" More recently that question was answered as many young girls decided they couldn't be young without long hair and their mothers decided they couldn't grow old with it. iome boys, perhaps from seeing the baldness of their fathers, decided simultaeously to let their hair grow while it still would. But now, to be in orbit with the space age, the long locked iaay must use the scissors again. A Lincoln hairstylist ob- served that everything that comes out (in hairstyles) is named after something in the news. When wide attention was focused on Italy, the Italian trend was introduced. The American trend was intro duced during an election year. It had to be patriotic, so the hair was long, straight and dignified the page boy style. The same hairstylist also claims that sputnik caused the hair to be raised on top of the head, and backcombed. At the same time, eyebrows were raised (with the help of tweasers) and skirts began to lilt everything seemingly caused by the shock follow, ing the launching of sputnik. The rising popularity of wigs and hairpieces gives many the chance to be versa tile without constantly chang ing their own hairstyles. The experience of trying on a wig is the greatest push to ward its purchase. It may not be that the wig looks so good (but it usually does), but your own hair takes on a rather hapless and inadequate look by comparison. A wig shop in Lincoln re ported a large rise in the num ber of wigs it sold to college students. Especially popular with college students are the hair pieces that can be comb ed into one's own hair style. So with wigs in orbit, and satellites spinning in our brains, we wait for the full realization of Fall and tha Fall hair fashions. I ouwnr mutoNAi AssukAnaco.
