We are grateful to Miss Edith Tweedie,
a former student and graduate of this
School, for the drawing and article on
Fashion Design. Edith is fully qual-
ified to advise, being a practical and
practicing designer for the magazine
"Fashion Age" in London, Eng. Her work
has also appeared in the "Ladies Home
Journal" and the Canadian "Fashion".
A talented and popular student, Edith
has many well-wishers among her former
fellows and we feel that the success we
wish her is assured.

FASHIONWORLD

Simplicity has bécome so fundamental,
and such a permanent part of clothes
that it is more or less the slogan of
every new Season. The decline of over-
elaboration and the return of greater
simplicity was a logical development.
The great ingenuity of line which is
seen throughout all the fashion show-
ings point out to us conclusively that
always a good design is the manipula-
tion of the interior lines of a model
without confusing the simple grace of
the silhouette.

In sports dresses suppleness and
Geometrical designing is very popular,
The idea in the Suppleness motif is to
design a model whether two piece or one
piece which is trig in idea and has no
movement outside the dress - it is to
feature the built in design whether
self-trimmed or insets of other mater-
ial. This sort of dress designing is
very often spoken of as feminity in aoc-
tion. Also such interior designs which
are already formed as tops, yokes and
vestees can be put in plain or with new
cuts or ideas. Chokers, collars and
scarves can be built in to carry out
the idea of suppleness designing.

The Geometric system treats designing
in a characteristic manner by straight
lines, circles, curvatures or diagonals
designed into angles and units which
forms a design singly or in a group.
