An array of culottes and skir- lottes are finding their place in the Lenses Make 'Pow Eyes' By ALAN SHULMAN t T T T t 1 E ,t t 7 i i trend to sporty clothes. V and U- necked sweaters combining flashy reds and, subtle pinks are comple- mented by various colored stretch pants. Amid this splendor of the spec- trum, chalk white on blackboard grey are popular combinations. White silk shirts are paralleled with pin-striped wool flannel skirts. Gigantic sized plaids in brown and white accent the simple lines of any tailored suit. Hitting campus with a display of irridescence to dazzle the eye, are the "nouveau" neo-neons. Co- ordinating hot pink and purple, luscious lemon and lime, vivacious vermillion and violet, all mixed to- gether yielding brilliant blends to add that extra attraction to the college wardrobe.' Shifts in any of these striking and bold or soft and subtle color creations are geared for comfort and are right in style. Whether on a date or merely sitting in class the co-ed who uti- lizes all the multitudes of hues and shades of colors will be "in." A sinister plot to overthrow the f last bastion of American femininitye has been launched. In the August4 issue of Mademoiselle, Maxim Fak- torov, notorious underworld cos-; metic figure, announced his inten-l tions to undermine the natural beauty of women's eyes. He arrogantly boasted that his new tinted contact lenses can "glint brown eyes with gold or . shade blue eyes to green. Hazel eyes--a color term that's often synonymous with we-don't-know- to-call-them (an obvious slur at the hazel-eyed)-:can become a dis- tinct brown or green depending on the lens." Insidious lenses With Faktorov's insidious lenses "pale eyes can become pow eyes if you use a lens a shade or two deeper than your own. natural color." The unscrupulous Faktorov then unveiled his ultimate weapon, the painted cosmetic lens, which "can change eye color completely." TWhere can be no doubt as to the farreaching significance of this latest cosmetic threat. It is time to statt asking yourself some soul- searching questions. Has your girl been telling you that her right eye is naturally green and her left eye" naturally piny when in truth she has been wearing contacts to match the colors of her outfit. Stand Firm Only by standing firm can we demonstrate our resolve to face this imminent danger. Only by constant vigilance can this threat be overcome. READY FOR RACE-There once was a girl in a sweater/ (and a pair of slacks too, to look better) / who would run cross the arb/ in her collegiate garb/ chased by thousands of boys and one setter. MORAL: You too can be pursued if appropriately attired. VARIOUS LENGTHS: Display Stylis B twa By BARBARA SEYFRIED and ROBERTA POLLACK Women's jewelry features two; really new approaches to acces- sories. Rather than stressing eith- er gold or silver as has been done in the past, two new materials; have been discovered or, perhaps, rediscovered. Wooden jewelry, in the form of necklaces, pins, earrings, or hair adornments, has become the dis- tinguishing mark of the individ- ualstic, well-dressed woman. The scarab, an ancient Egyp- tian talisman, ornament and sym- bol of ressurrection is rapidly gaining popularity among campus women. Originally, w e a t h y ancient Egyptians used the scarabs as a seal. When the name of the own- er of the seal was eventually in- scribed on it, scarabs attained a1 religious or amulet status. The religious significance grew' until the scarab became the sym- bol of the god, Kheperi, an asex- ual sun god. Superstitious The scarab was used as the' symbol because of the supersti- tious attachment it had and be- cause ancient Egyptians believed that the scarab insect was asexual also.I One point of comparison used3 was the way the scarab could be found rolling its food along the7 ground with the Egyptian con- ception that the run rolled acrossi the sky.I The scarab was not only used by the god Kheperi. As the popu- larity of the stone scarabs grew, they became a combination sou- venir and advertisement. Temples of various gods gave them away to pilgrims when they visited. Whether for dress or for casual wear, this jewelry adds an enviable flair of character to her appear-' ance. For Every Occasion The less embellished wooden jewelry is perfect for autumn foot- ball games. Worn with turtle neck sweaters, shirts, or suits, its uniqueness of shape, its exotic quality transforms a plain outfit into a creation that hints at the mysticism of native jungles. Dressier occasions find pearls or gold designed on dark ebony set- tings; perfect for simple black sheathes or velvet shifts. For the imposing, goddess-like woman, the more massive forms of these wooden pieces provide the crowning touch. The more petite By ALISON SMALLEY Fashion authorities might be trying to bring hemlines down this fall. It may be down for the hemline this year, but the boot is climbing on both the leg and the fashion ladder. The traditional rainy weather shoe is hardly recognizable. Long and slim, short and tapered, ap- pearing in all fabrics, the boot is now as style conscious as it is weather conscious. Boots start at ankle length and gradually reach the thigh. The short "crocodile" boot features a low heel and patent leather. Mid- way betweenknee and ankle is the "cowboy" with calfskin and stack heel as its attractions. Various Materials The "swashbuckler," just a 'few inches higher, runs rampant in fake-fur, poplin, and elkskin. female finds the delicate carvings of smaller pieces more fitting for her wardrobe. Complementary The somber, almost Puritan' quality of this year's styles are' perfected by the addition of re-, gal wooden jewelry. Its. naturalness complements beautifully the straight lines and rigid cuts so prevalent now. Tickling the knee with rubber, suede and fur, the "stovepipe" can be purchased with a higher heel. For the thigh boot, a soft corduroy is the predominating fab- ric. Ann Arbor merchants are dis- playing boots for cold weather with flannel and pile linings. Easy Walking "Most of our boots have flat heels for easy walking. Black and red seem to be the favorite colors, but they are all selling well," said one local business woman. Boots aren't the only hit in foot- wear. The penny loafer has intro- duced the Italian shoe with smooth front and sleek sides. "This shoe has, far outsold the conventional saddle front model," said another Ann Arbor shoe dealer. CULTURAL TREND: Colorful Picasso Patterns Bid for Costume Spotlight" 'I Reptiles Play Major Role In Apparel By ROSALIE BAINE More and more alligators iguana lizards are giving the " full measure of devotion" in interest of fashion this year. Local merchants report a sli upswing in the sales of both sh and bags of reptile leathers. They recommend alligator iguana leathers for their dura ity and their ability to to be ea cleaned with a damp cloth. Adapted to Shoes Shoes of such leathers, form( difficult to "break in," now come comfortable sooner while shoes wear longer. The thicker hide from the b of the reptile is used for the fr of the shoe for greater durabi The thinner, softer skin from sides of the animal forms the s: of the shoe, thus increasing f ibility. Bags are constructed in so: what the same manner.' tougher hide makes up the fr back and bottom, while the us the thinner skin increases the f ibility of the side folds. Simulated Reptiles Recent fashion magazines h featured boots and bags of s ulated alligator which prodi the chic look of alligator fe fraction of the price. Especially popular are the hi glossy brown pouch bags a shoulder straps. While the stack heel has proven popular with the walking set, new in dress shoes is the jet heel, which is the "perfect thing for the tall girl with a short boy- friend," as one salesman put it. Tapered at the top with a slightly flared bottom, this one inch heel was introduced two years ago, and is still fashion news. The Word "For dressy wear, the plain leather heel is best. For very dressy, the dyeable shoe, tinted to match the shade of the outfit, is perfect," is the word from another author- ity on feminine likes and dislikes in Ann Arbor. Co-eds can find all these styles in local shops to insure them- selves of a dry and distinctive winter in footwear. by RUTH SELIGMAN Fashions have taken a new turn this year. They are no longer de- signed only to build up a woman's vanity, but also to bring out aes- thetic appreciation in her admir- ers; appreciation of modern art, Fashion editors have predicted that styles in huge Picasso prints will be the next campus-shatter- ing fad. According to the fashion maga- zines, every well-dressed coed will parade about in a jump suit, parka, or sweat shirt which has the sig- nature of the master himself. These experts, sitting in their New York offices, are probably ex- panding the craze to give the coed in her sleepy college town the op- portunity to have a completely matching wardrobe. This may include a wrap-around Renoir, A-shape Degas jumper (ballerina in front), and for the bolder ones, Rembrandt sneakers. The social system on campus would adapt to this quite well. The "in" group would tend to mix their artists by periods, regardless of the fact that Gauguin liked yellow and green, while Van Gogh happened to use magenta and blue. Prints like these could prove eco- nomically sound for the under- graduate counting her pennies. Cleaning costs drop since a smudge or even a deep stain could always be attributed to the artists' style. Hemlines nolonger cause a prob- lem since it is definitely disrespect- ful to cut off some of Picasso's genius. If the fashion experts do manage to tear the style-conscious fresh- man away from her loafers, dark pleated skirts and white shirts, this campus will become a haven for history or art students. One great disadvantage of. this, however, is that the United States may have to increase its appropria- tions to India - 50,000 Madras weaving women will have to be unemployed.
