Show WHY PARIS FASHIONS LEAD THE WORLD. "The women of Paris, as no other women of the world make their toilet their art. They alone seem to hold the secret that to make up dresses well there must be the innate feeling of what one is carrying out. The American woman (and, not unlike her, the English and the German woman) places her order for a gown in the hands of some so-claimed art dressmaker, and the matter rests there. It is all in the hands of the modiste, and her ingenuity is expected to design artistic individuality indi-viduality into a hundred different gowns. The Parisian dressmaker not only has her own native na-tive artistic conceptions at her command, but she is never left to act as the sole architect of her designs. "The Parisian woman" says the writer of an article in the January Cosmopolitan, on "Paris City of Beautiful Women," have studied carefully their own individual needs and limitations limita-tions in colors and their various shades. Living in the fashionable, aristocratic and, above all, comme il faut' world, these ladies suggest ideas, innovations and changes in detail, and this is why the women of Paris are kowned in that distinguished distin-guished fashion, true fashion, the fashion beyond the ken of the crowd, the quintessence of- the superlative sup-erlative of beauty." |
