Fox Trot May Leave Us 'H' Look Is The Fad
By KAREN HILMER
Which shall it be this year—the bunny-hop, tango, dance-it-as-you-hear-it, or shall it be the 1954 version of the Charleston a-la Dior? It is too bad that this will not be for us to decide, but will be the masculine decision of the well-known French designer, Christian Dior.
From articles and just plain hearsay, the American women are fighting this drastic change. Who is going to win this battle? It is the writer's guess that Dior will have his way, as he always has had in the past.
Yes, it will probably be true, that if the much-talked about "H" look of the 1920's does materialize as the fashion for women in 1954 — many other things, such as the above-mentioned dancing will go right back to the 20's along with the fashions.
Take the "new look" for a good example. Women were doing all but tearing their hair when it was officially announced that women would hide their legs with skirts approximately two or three inches from the ankle. Do you remember what result? All skirts and no
legs, and weren't they comfortable?
When you would sit down for a class, the skirt all but mopped the classroom floor and when you would get up, remember all of the dust you had to remove from the skirt to make it look presentable?
But it was the fashion and the "thing to do," so we wore the latest Dior fad and liked it. That was in 1947-48.
Then, boom! Up went the skirts to the middle of the leg. Things were pretty well getting back to normal. The fashion authorities decided to let the women's pocket-books alone for awhile.
We have already seen the 1920 "middy" blouse, the straight, slim, sleek skirtlines, the tight-fitting clocks, and the pointed toes of shoes. Mr. Dior, when are the skirts going up to the knees again? Charleston, anyone?
