DODO'S, summer wardrobe
by PEER J. OPPENHEIMEK
■ Doris Day has long been recognized as one of Hollywood's best-dressed women.
Edith Head, moviedom's top fashion expert and six-time Academy Award winner, insists, "I've never met anyone more interested in clothes, more capable of picking what's right for her, more practical in her selections — and less interested in general trends than Doris!"
In choosing her wardrobe, Doris follows this set of rules:
Doris buys clothes diat she likes, and husband Marty likes too, of course, Not what's the current fashion, but do I really like it? That's the first thing. A few weeks ago, when a representative from an organization for the blind came to Doris' house to self her magazine subscriptions, Doris ordered one national magazine, two home magazines, and one movie fan book. "Aren't you interested in fashions?" the astonished saleswoman asked her.
"Interested, yes. But I never look at fashion books," Doris smiled.
She doesn't go in for the latest trend — her dresses never attract the attention that a professional model's wardrobe would get. But neither does her wardrobe go out of style at the end of the season! Believe it or not, a great percentage of what's on Miss Day's back today was purchased as far back as six and seven years ago! With only the hemlines altered from time to time.
Item number two is simplicity of style. "I look for fabrics that are attention-getters," says Doris, and she's forever looking for new materials.
For instance: where did she spend her clothes-hunting time while on her last trip to Europe? At the Diors, Balmain, and Balenciaga fashion shows? Not on your fife! She covered the fabric houses. As a result she came back to Hollywood with nearly thirty yards of exquisite materials for this summer's wardrobe ... a pale blue shantung with white flowery imprints from Rodier in Paris made a short summer evening dress; a light beige wool from London's Asher Ltd. she had tailored into a travel suit, and a soft-pink chiffon was designed into a tight-bodiced, v-necked gown (Continued on page 74~)
