Metal decorates this fall's styles
By Kathy Vaughn Kansan Staff Reporter
Do you have your "grippers"
and other "hardware?"
This fall the glint of metal can be seen on dresses, skirts and jackets. "Grippers," those metal fasteners found on children's rain boots and workmen's galoshes now can be seen closing the right or left side of the most dressy suit jacket.
The faddish fasteners also include chain belts which double as jewelry to accessorize a short shift or pantsdress. They can also accent a "maximum" (maxi) sweater which ends at mid-hip and is worn with a "minimal" (mini) skirt.
Chains are of silver, gold and brass and can be found stoned occasionally with polished rocks or pieces of stained glass. Links of tortoise shell or dark stained wood alternate with metal links in some belts. Others are composed entirely of rectangular pieces of these materials.
These types of link belts are not meant to cinch the waist and should be worn loosely on the hip.
Other borrowed hardware includes the industrial zipper, no longer confined to life on the sofa cushions. Chances are you'll be working these zippers on your dresses, coats, jackets and slacks more often than you'll be using
them to remove upholstery covers.
A zipper can be a piece of jewelry as well as a functional part of a garment, as they run up the side of a jacket or the front of a dress. Mixing large pins with this feature makes clothes look cluttered. This is more than a strip of metal in cloth that happens to cause a stripe, it is accented with an inch-in-diameter hoop pull, or perhaps a triangular or rectangular pull.
With the zipper dresses, collars are usually high in a mandarin or turtleneck style. A word of caution: don't wear the high turtleneck dress, with or without a zipper, if your neck is short or your face is round. The effect may remind people of the animal, and that is not the point of fashion.
However, the point can be new warmth in gloves as the industrial zipper replaces last year's popular knuckle-baring racing glove. Unfortunately when the designers ran away with the idea of putting industrial zippers into fashion, they forgot that the back of the hand could get mangled while trying to zip gloves in a hurry.
Gloves on, a coed reaches for her purse. This fall it too may glint of round metal chain links held by a shoulder strap of what else but links of a smaller shape. This Paris innovation is more practical than it sounds. It is not full of air but is lined with suede-lette.
