Sheath skirts, blouses, bermudas and smart jackets are available in matching or complementary colors and prints. By interchang- ing these separates and accomp- anying them with the proper ac- cessories, a woman is able to at- tire herself adequately. Such versatile separates are of- ten classified as a middle-of-the- road-items-items which can be used for a variety of different oc- casions. These mixed separates are much more economical than last year's popular sport dress which could be worn once, then altered very .little for additional wearings. Variety of Hues Separates are shown in a variety of different hues and many unique prints. Solid blues, pinks, greens, browns and yellows in addition to the new madras plaids and batik prints dominate the sportswear scene.

Fashions of 1960 in the Soviet Union-displayed by trim, slim models-were pictured for Ameri- cans in a three-page layout in the current issue of the exchange magazine, USSR. "This season," writes Central Fashion House designer Lyudmila Turchanovskaya, "Soviet women favor the dress belted at the waistline. Large off-the-neck col- lars are very much in vogue. Very popular, too, are fur stoles, capes and coats, as well as furtrimmed suits." 24 Fashion Houses The article reports there are 24 fashion houses in Russia's larger cities. The leading houses in cities like Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev and Riga send their patterns to dress factories elsewhere in the country. The Central Fashion House in Moscow, it says, designs about 3,000 styles every year, the major- ity of which are for mass pro- duction. The models, in traditional poses, were pictured in a variety of dresses from an off-the-shoulder short length black silk embroider- ed evening gown to slacks with crew neck sweater. Also shown was an eye-catching jacket of wool and goatskin from Uzbekis- tan, worn with a beret. Variety Of Shoes The footwear ranged from loaf- ers, worn with slacks, to pointed toed shoes in a variety of heel heights. The Russian display didn't overlook the men. It included "The most popular business suit this season," single-breasted with nar- row lapels, shown with a light- colored tie. It was described as being "worn with a warm vest of harmonizing color." People who have traveled re- cently to the Soviet Union said some of the styles-especially the evening wear - weren't exactly what the average Russian is seen wearing. Prices Unknown There was no indication in the articles of the price Russians might pay for the clothes shown. A Persian lamb coat "for nippy weather" was not unlike one worn by the wife of Russia's Ambassa- dor Mikhail Menshikov recently when she attended a joint session of Congress to hear President Eis- enhower's State of the Union message. Describing the Moscow Fashion House where she works, the auth- or of the article explained it em- ploys about 50 designers. "The largest group-all women-work on dresses. The coat and suit de- signers are mostly men," she said. Study Other Styles The fashion house has a "well, stocked library," which includes style books from France, England and the United States. Noting that Russia in recent- years has been showing its gar- ments at international shows, the article concluded: "We have been flattered by the increasing attention and approval of foreign stylists. We are pleased, of course, but attribute it to the fact that we are challenged by the demands Soviet Women make on us all the time, like women every- where in the world, for more orig- inal and more interesting crea- tions." Designers Create Print Book Bags To Match Clothes Recent reports indicate that the green book bags are going to take a new form along the femanine lines. With the coming of spring and better weather, clothes designers have come up with the idea to make book bags that will match the lively print patterns that are so often seen in women's clothing around this time of year. Some psychologists believe that there is a definite reason for the carrying of green book bags. They indicate that the book bags are a symbol of work and effort that is often associated with masculinity. For this reason, certain experts doubt whether print-book bags will ever become a reality. Nevertheless, no one will doubt the fact that more and more stu- dents are using them and will continue to do so this spring. 4 i -David Giltrow warm weather, coeds. . .. ..
