Show 'Curved Contours' New Fashion Dictate A new element has entered into the field of costume design. It's "curves." This styling technique is seen in the soft rounded shoulders that give a very different silhouette from last year. The command of ' fashion to "curve your contours" ia also reflected in the way side fastenings fasten-ings and drapes take on a curved sweep rather than a straight or angular angu-lar movement. Yokes are rounded too, instead of being square-cornered. Hips have an out-curve, while waists have an in-curve. Compare Com-pare your last year's suit with your this year's suit, or place your lost season's felt hat alongside the fall hat you've just bought, with its rounded, bulky, yet flattering new brim, and you will see how designers design-ers are obeying fashion's edict to "curve your contours." |
