LADY DUFF-GORDON, the famous "Luck" of London
and foremost creator of fashion in the world, write each
week the fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all
that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed women.
Lady Dulf-Gordon'i Park establishment brings her into close
mch with that centre of fashion.
By Lady Duff 'Cordon
("LuciU")
0 on can ever destroy the Orient, it has soul of beauty, of
II charm that is age old and must live. There are no colors lie
those of the Orient, and there is no mystery of fabric, f veiling
and of perfume such as the Orient possesses.
Always in the security of her home knowing and cultivated woman
will borrow a leaf from the book of the beauties of the Orient, In the East
for ages ft has been woman' mission to please, and well she ha learned her
lesson. Through this have evolved 'the distinctive costume that we call-
Oriental They have in litem afl of allurement, of grace and of eductivM
womanly beauty.
Here I show you photograph of some of the costumes I exhibited in
the failiion fete I gave for the benefit of the "Orphelinat de Armees,"
the little orphan of the French armies. The large photograph I have heard
called a "Harem Veil House Dress." The veil is of the filmiest tulle. The
dres itself is nothing but a series of draping. Yet it ha all the charm of
the immemorial East,
The little Peacock Dres is another instance of this charm. The trail
is exactly the peacock's tail.
The third picture is not only a comfortable but a superlatively charm
ing bunging dress, and the arrangement of the cushions is just the one that
I think ideal for a divan. Underneath the veil is an over skirt of turquoise
blu and silver brocade. The trousers are of pale blue and silver silk.
And by the way, while I still have space, just a ltile word about sum
mer furs. The natural blue fox and the dyed blue fox wiQ be much in
vogue. Many of the short hair fur are being umlurj with net and tulle,
and even with feather trimmings to bring about novel effect. There it, for
instance, the ripple cape made of moleskin combined with old blue
maline in the form of rutf placed at the base of the fur collar.
Then there is the always satisfying combination of ermine and mole
found in certain of the Victorian effects.
Many of the new effects depart from scarf-like lines and have a
coatee suggestion. They show broad revers, high flaring collar and
extended shoulders even though they do not posses sleeves. " It may
be said, in fact, that there is almost as much variety in the new assort
of summer fur as in all other department of women' wear.
