Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1936)

PHOTOPLAY MAGAZINE FOR NOVEMBER, 1936 91 sleeves are closely embroidered with large small pearls. The rich surface thus achieved is enhanced by being caught at intervals into puckers the length of the sleeve. This bulk contrasts with the straight, svelte line of the coat, which comes below the knees. These gowns by Orry Kelly are not only excellent cinema material; they may be worn by any woman with a flair for individuality and chic. IRENE'S recent fashion showing at Bullock's 'Wilshire was a rendezvous for picture stars. Miss Waterbury and I sat beside Norma Shearer. Across the room from us were Dolores del Rio, Virginia Bruce and Fay Wray. Miss Shearer scanned every model, with one eye on Miss del Rio, to watch her reaction, for stars hate to repeat each other's dresses. As an olive green crinkled crepe daytime dress was shown us, Miss Shearer said she wanted to try it on. "What about you, Dolores?" she asked, with her unfailing gracious courtesy. "No, no good for my skin!" answered Miss del Rio. Irene has done lots of circular skirts both for day and evening wear. Those that are not circular have the fullness bunched to the front, although in suits there is a slight back flare to the skirt. A novelty was white monkey fur used as a cape for a street dress. Irene is also using this in Mae West's new picture "Go West, Young Man." It is new to use this particular off-white fur with clothes so simple as to be almost in the sports category. I LOVED a wrap-over black silk velvet princess coat or coat dress, made with a very flared skirt, standing collar and long close sleeves in Cossack style. With it was worn a high peaked Persian turban in black, with a roll of material curving round the head. Irene bands many of her wide skirts with silver fox or cross fox. For evening she has used much stiff silk velvet, magnificent lames, notably one in moonlight, opalescent moire weaves, Persian lames, chiffon, and crepes. For tweeds she likes the yellowed greens and shows them with matching hats of felt. An afternoon dress was in black cloque cire. in coat dress stvle. WHAT EVERY WOMAN KNOWS— that svelte and charming Carole Lombard's clothes, designed by Travis Banton, have always been the very height of smartness. In next month's PHOTOPLAY you will want to see the full-color portrait of Carole in her new black evening ensemble. With its scarlet and silver jacket it is simply stunning.
