TVEW YORK — (NEA)— Mobile
separates with a mobility of
both use and movement are the
creation of one New York de-
signer who believes that clothes
should be highly adaptable.
To this end, Nelly de Grab has
worked life-sized poppies, daisies
and field flowers over wide skirts
made of satin-ribbed cotton,
bird's - eye pique, embossed
sheened cotton, denim and
starched chiffon organdy. Stems
BY GAILE Dl'GAS
NEA Woman's Editor
are hand-painted and outlines of
both flowers and stems some-
times sparkle with sequins. «
The three-dimensional look of
these flowers is not an optical il-
lusion; it is actually so. The pet-
als are cut to stand away from
the skirt and are layered in
depths of three or four.
We show (left) blouse-nnd-
skirt In gray denim with yellow
sunflowers. Flowers are placed
down the front and at the hip-
line. Skirt has easy fullness.
Embossed sheened cotton in
light green (right) makes halter
top and skirt that gets big white
poppies blown irregularly across
the front. These separates could
go to any informal summer eve-
ning party, out dancing under
the stars or to a late-afternoon
gathering on patio or terrace.
Winter Creations Feature Accent On
The Feline—Others 'Look Twice Look'
By BARBARA MILER
PARIS, July 29 (U.Pi—Some of
the sleekest leopard skins this side
strolling through the salons of
of the jungle decorated models
dressmaker Pierre Balmain Wed-
nesday as the designer showed
winter creations with the accent
on the feline.
Slinkiest number was a figure-
swathing evening gown entirely
embroidered with sequins to re-
semble a leopard skin.
Balmain again used leopard skin
—the real thing—on the strapless
bodice of a bouffant beige tulle
dress. Leopard was used on the la-
pels of the ensemble's beige velvet
coat and as an accompanying
muff.
'Look Twice Look'
Main silhouette < f the collection
was modeled after the champagne
glass, both upright and inverted.
It was quickly tugged the "look
twice look"—a big-bosomed effect
being responsible for the double-
take.
The creations were large in the
bust and shoulders for day time,
while the evening gowns had tight-
ly-molded bodices atop full, bell-
like skirts.
V-shaped pleats and a change in
color, staitinK empire-style just
under the bust, emphasized the ef-
fect.
I'seri Button-Down Tabs
The same pleats were used on a
fitted coat of long-haired, printed
beaver-felt. Under the pleats, the
coat was fastened double-breasted
down to the waist.
Button-down tabs decorated the
skirt of blue corduroy just below
the belt. This detail appeared on a
tod wool suit as part of the pock-
ets.
While Balmain's champagne
glass look set the pace, it still re-
mained for Dior to say whether
he will play along with the line
which he really launched in spring
and which is now well-known.
Battle Jacket Revived
Lucille Manguin has climbed on
the bandwagon with the "look
twice look." But she showed more
drapery over the hips and stom-
ach than was strictly fashionajble.
In her models, skirt fullness was
pulled towurd the front and sloped
off in bunchy tucks or fine pleats.
She also revived President Ei-
senhower's famed wartime battle
jacket but here it dropped to the
nips in a way no general would
approve. One example was fash-
ioned of gray chinchilla wool fast-
ened by cross-over fringed flaps
under the collar.
