...freakish household of esthetes in Brooklyn Heights. There, sickly, shy and elflike, she presided over a dinner table whose steady boarders were Auden, Anglo-Irish Poet Louis MacNeice (now back in England for military service), British Composer Benjamin Britten, Wisconsin-raised George Davis (literary editor of Harper's Bazaar). The old brownstone became a shabby Mecca for their friends. Russian Painter Pavel Tchelitchew decorated its walls, symphonies were composed at its piano, through it trooped painters, writers, musicians and such unclassifiable artists as Gypsy Rose...
...dress manufacturers, designers, buyers and fashion editors failed to spend early August in Paris, France. For the first time in over 20 years the cables were barren of news from world headquarters of the haute couture. For the first time since they began publication, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar sent to press their all-important autumn issues without a single last-minute Paris model to rave about. The U. S. dress business, whose 7,000 manufacturers and 250,000 workers turn out upwards of $1,000,000,000 worth (at wholesale) of garments each year, was headed without...
Last week these manufacturers wound up their own "openings" on Manhattan's Seventh Avenue. Onlookers like Vogue's Francophile Edna Woolman Chase, Harper's Bazaar's blue-haired, dynamic Carmel Snow, declared they were enthusiastic about what the U. S. woman will wear this fall. But the fall styles were not made in Manhattan. Their keynote was struck in Paris last May-by Schiaparelli, by Lanvin, by Chanel, Molyneux, LeLong, etc.-in their regular midseason openings, sparsely attended but well covered by cable and sketch. Since then Paris has fallen. The U. S. dress business will...
...April issues, fat with profitable advertising, were an aggregate 448 pages thick, a particularly extraordinary fact because Street & Smith's other publications carry virtually no advertising. With a circulation of just over 300,000 this month, Mademoiselle is far ahead of Vogue (218,762) and Harper's Bazaar (202,407). But Mademoiselle, a monthly, costs only 25?. Vogue and Harper's Bazaar come out twice a month, cost...
...when theflour-sack dress flourished and the straight line conquered all. But it seemed last week that the "long torso," alias the "extended waistline," was just another false alarm. Even the stylists could not make sense of it. Wrote Carmel Snow, in Harper's Bazaar: "It's not a lower waistline, or a higher waistline. It starts exactly at its natural, rightful indentation and extends both up and down, to give you a firm lithe line like the stalk of a flower. Sometimes the effect is achieved by a yoke over the hips, or the placing of pockets...
