- Story Text: IT'S PARIS FASHION TIME AGAIN. TOMORROW PIERRE BALMAIN SHOWS THE WORLD HIS WINTER COLLECTION WHICH HE DESCRIBES AS VERY YOUNG, VERY MODERN, AND VERY DIGNIFIED. HIS SILHOUETTES SHOW CLEAN-CUT LINES WITH OVER-STITCHING ON THE SEAMS TO EMPHASIZE THE CONTOURS. AND HIS WHOLE COLLECTION IS MARKED WITH NEAT CLASSIC LINES. SKIRTS FOR DAY-WEAR HAVE HARDLY CHANGED IN LENGTH, BUT ALL HIS EVENING WEAR IS FULL LENGTH WITH A SPLIT TO REVEAL A LEG.
ON SUNDAY, M. BALMAIN GAVE A PREVIEW OF SOME OF HIS COLLECTION FOR VISNEWS AT HIS HOME JUST OUTSIDE PARIS....
THIS DESIGN IS CALLED LIMA, IT'S BEING WORN BY CASSANDRA. THE DARK BROWN EVENING DRESS IS MADE OF VELVET WITH EMBROIDERED GOLDEN BROWN BANDS. ONE SHOULDER IS BARE AND THE STRAIGHT SKIRT HAS A SLIT AT THE HEM TO REVEAL THE LEG.
PENNY IS WEARING A COCKTAIL DRESS CALLED MONTENEGRO. THE WHITE AND GOLD BROCADE COAT MATCHES THE DRESS UNDERNEATH. THE ROUND FUR HAT IS MADE OF MINK.
CASSANDRA SHOWS DEPART. THIS IS TYPICAL OF THE BALMAIN COLLECTION THIS YEAR. THE SKIRT AND JACKET OF WHITE WOOL HAVE BUILT UP SEAMS EMPHASIZED WITH OVER-STITCHING.
