Fashion Show Features World Tour
By Virginia Mathews
Nellie Bly's 72-day trip around the world seemed like a "slow boat to China" to foreign students Saturday as they toured the world of fashion in 45 minutes.
The foreign students' "Trip Around The World" fashion show took its audience through the fashions of 13 countries representing the continents of Europe, Africa, Asia and South America Saturday night.
Solfrid Saele, Bergen, Norway, graduate student and skipper for the fashion trip, took her passengers first to India.
INDIA
"Here we see the traditional dress of the Indian women, the sari." Two saris were represented, one in a green silk with a rose and gold border worn by the Indian woman in west deep blue, and modern party sari of deep blue silk trimmed in gold.
The Indian college woman dresses in a three-quarter length fitted coat with slits up the sides (kurta) and wears white draped trousers (shalwar).
CHINA
Two dresses, one of maroon satin with a gold and black embroidered flower pattern and the other of pale yellow with gold embroidery on the bodice, represent different styles. The dresses I trained the Chinese style that has changed little in the last 300 years, the tight silt skirt, the high mandarin collar and the short sleeves.
PHILIPPINES
Winged sleeves and a scoop neckline symbolized the Fillipino fashions. The winged sleeves are typical because the men regard their women as angels.
The formal attire of the Filipino women was shown in a floor-length sheath of yellow silk with a long train. The train and skirt were decorated with a black rose pattern of embroidery, sequins and beads.
SOUTH AMERICA
The fashion show then crossed the overcast sky. The dress was embroidered floor length Mexican dress worn for festive occasions. The dress was covered with gold and red hand embroidered
JORDAN
Walking in the stooped fashion of the Peruvian Indian, the next model wore a black handwoven skirt with red border around the bottom and a red jacket.
The Arab sheik stepped out of the Arabian Nights wearing the traditional long flowing robes. The white man robe fluttered down a train or wool depending on the weather.
PALESTINE
An Arab student modeled a long black two piece dress. The black dress had red silk strips of cross-stitch down the skirt and in bands across the blouse.
MOROCCO
The jellaba, a traditional one piece robe of white cotton, silk or wool, that can be worn by men, women and children was modeled by Mousse, casual dresser and junior. The type of material depends upon the person's economic status.
