Accusing Paris Dress Designer Challenged To Prove Charges
San Francisco—(U,R)—Paris dress designer Charles James has been challenged either to put up a $10,000 bet or shut up about American women being the world's worst dressed.
Adoph Schumann, San Francisco fashion expert, and winner of the 1851 New York Academy of Fashion award, believes America men are the world's best dressed, and he is willing to wager $10,000 it.
"It's about time James and other critics of American women get a chance to prove their charges that our fashions are 'seedy'," he said.
James, who specializes in dressing movie stars and socialites, recently made the statement that a poorower-seller in the slums of Rome is more tastefully dressed than a Park avenue debutante.
"For this challenge I suggest you submit pictures of any 10 women from any station in life, photographed anywhere in the world for comparison with pictures of 10 American women I will obtain by taking a photographer out in the street of my home city, San Francisco, or any other important American city you can designate.
In a telegram to James at his New York headquarters, the San Francisco designer said: "Regarding your statement from Hollywood to United Press that 'American women, both rich and poor, are the worst dressed females in the world', I, Adolph Schumann who believe they are the best dressed, hereby challenge you to prove this statement to the tune of a $10,000 wager which I will donate to your favorite charity, or you to mine.
"You have the choice of the whole world while I shall find my women exclusively in the United States, with a judging committee of nationally or internationally known artists or fashion editors."
Schumann said he has no fear of losing his wager, having just returned from a European survey trip of the fashion scene.
"It's a pity and unfair to even try to compare the European woman's dress with that of ours," he said. "Almost every woman in Europe needs clothing almost as badly as she suffers from lack of food."
