- Story Text: THE STYLES OF JEAN PATOU'S SPRING AND SUMMER COLLECTION, SHOWN IN PARIS TODAY (FRIDAY) ARE SOFT, CLINGING AND FEMININE. THE FASHION HOUSE'S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, M.MICHEL GOMA, STOPPED MOST HEMLINES ABOVE THE KNEE.
THE PATOU LINE FEATURES SMOOTH AND UNCLUTTERED TREATMENTS WITH SHORT, SHINGLED HAIR GIVING A LONG-NECKED LOOK.
NECKLINES WERE MAINLY SQUARE-SHAPED AND DISCREET ABOVE A BIASCUT THAT MADE FROCKS AND COSTUMES CLING TO THE FIGURE.
SUITS HAD VERY SHORT JACKETS WITH SMALL COLLARS AND SKIRTS WERE STRAIGHT AND BRIEF.
WAISTLINES ON FROCKS WERE VARIABLE. SOME WERE DROPPED LOW MARKED BY A BELT SLUNG AROUND THE HIPLINE. OTHERS WERE RAISED TO PRESENT A FULL BODICE AND LOOSE, DRAPED BACKS.
