CAPUCCI - COMING DOWN TO EARTH

CAPUCCI

White coming down to earth... white cotton matelasse embellished with jewelled buttons like bright covered paving stones that echo the fabrics weave. Slightly shaped and softly skimming into a minimal a-line. In Hurel cotton.

Melvin Sokolsky experienced a recurring dream in which he floated  within a bubble across exotic landscapes. This was the origin of his "bubble series" presenting the Paris spring collections of 1963.

EVENINGS IN PARIS 1963

GRES

Pristine perfection evening cape falling like a handkerchief in front, crosses at the back and wraps around a long linear column dress that is slit on one side. In Staron crepe. Chignon shaoed like a bow by Alexandre of Paris.

SIMONETTA AND FABIANI

Shining black organza satin, high on front, plunging into a deep U in the back. the slightly lifted waist is looped with a sash of scarlet satin. In Lesage silk. The headdress, inspired by the eighteenth-century Peking dynasty is by Alexandre of Paris.

SAINT-LAURENT

Fragile white organdie transparent evening covering over a two-part organdie dress densely worked with bas-relief white broderie. In Brivet Organdie. 

The Alexandre of Paris hair creation here, and throughout this editorial, was an integral part of the couture fashion of the sixties. His work was the finishing touch to the formal evening ensemble - and as fashionable as the fashions themselves.

SAINT-LAURENT

Counterpoint sleeve. Elegant jumper dress with the new wide shoulder casually scarved and just skimming the body. The fuller-sleeved shirt underneath is deeply cuffed. 

CARDIN

The ruffle - two rows in  in pitch black organza fanning high front and back on a whisper of mousseline. Light and utterly feminine, eased into the natural waist by a soft tie sash. In Chatillon-Mouly-Roussel silk.

CARDIN

A waist-deep cowl of white crepe drops to new depths of provocation and balances a black rose on a thread. The skirt, black and clinging. In Lajoinie crepe. Coiffure; Alexandre of Paris.

DIOR

The Breton, young yet worldly. The brim of white straw so sheer the light shines through. The crown shaped like a baby's cap and the chin strap of pitch black shantung. The dress - important to the silhouette at Dior: the sculptured shoulders.

THE YEAR OF THE CAT - 1960

Junior Sophisticates

"Elegant epitome of the cat fur craze - as luxe a winter wrapping as any girl dares dream. Narrow jaguar coat shaped on the princess plan: high notched collar placed well off the neck; pockets placed low on the hips."

Viola Sylbert for Leathermode

"On the loose, jungle spotted leather pullover with white-dyed wolfskin and the classic V-necked sweater newly conceived in leather as a beautiful cat."

Winter

"A full sweep of jaguar-printed leather cut sans collar, cum fly front. Worn with a true jaguar hat."

Winter

"A splendid jaguar jacket - chic, sleek, sinuous as a car of the same name - dazzled by a great foam of red fox at the throat and wrists."

A MAGIC SHOW IN FOUR SCENES BY SAUL LEITER

"Acting, is the art of becoming somebody else."

Moss Hart

SCENE 1

First show of sorcery: A sighingly romantic flaxen-blonde. The means - Ivory chiffon by Clairol, coiffure by Maison Antoine. Complexion, ivory; eyes misted in lavender; lips light coral. to enhance the shimmering illusion, an incandescent jewelled pin, shaped like a Burmese pagoda. By Vendome. With it, draped at the throat, a scarf of myriad shrimp-colored beads, each one embedded in crystal, like roe en gelee. By Hattie Carnegie.

Kelly Osbourne Greype

SCENE 2

The magic,here, is distinctly disingenuous, full of witchery and worldliness. The tint of hair, pale beige touched with lilac - Mist of Mauve, a couturier colour by L'Oreal. This coiffure, draped like a strip of satin from side to side, coils sinuously at the top of the head. By Monsieur Marcel. Skin tone, rose beige; eye make-up, lavender;lip colour, clear rich rose. Draped like a collar of cloth at the throat, endless yards of round little roe beads creating a moving, vibrant pattern of colour - violet, green and pink - which delicately reiterates the lilac in the hair. Hattie Carnegie necklace.

SCENE 3

A look composed of equal parts sheer fantasy and high sophistication. The colour of the hair is burnished peach a Fanci-fullRinse for bleached hair by Roux called - disarmingly - Just Peachy. The smooth, gleaming hair is drawn from one side across the top of the head, whirled in back, swirled on the other side. The style - by Coiffures Americana. The complexion, peach tone; eye allure, bronzy-green; lips, bright coral. Starry swollen pin of extraordinary depth and dimensionality: a burst of coral stalks against leaves paved with emerald green, peridot stones. By Miriam Haskell.

SCENE 4

A serene and notable coiffure in the classic repertoire, paradoxically demure and saucy as a Jane Austin heroine. The colourig: Grecian Blonde, a light soft, natural brown by Tintair. The hair is shaped forward from a centre part, then drawn up into a smooth, crowning coil. Coiffure by Andre Amelio of the Salon Debbian. Make-up - sheer classicism - consists of beige complexion, hyacinth blue eye shadow and light, bright red lipstick. The jeweling: fresh green leaves rimmed with gilt, nestling on long pretend pearl strands of almost blue-white perfection. All by Trifari.
