PLAINDEALER A rign of the times ... Fashion ̂ moves' into winter PAGE IS -FRIDAY, DECEMBE float through romi printer fashion accents femi­ nine dressing . . . and body movement. According to de­ signer John Stavros, who also sponsors a soccer team of ener­ getic New York models: "With over 80 percent of the country participating in active sports, people are getting into shape-- so, fashion designs and fumes have shroed up too." Whether for active sports, disco dancing or hectic business schedules, fashionsare slimmer and fabrics are more supple to allow freedom of movement. About his own glamorous evening wear creations Stavros comments, "I like to create clothes that are classic enough to remain in a wardrobe. . .ba­ sic, with a touch of bright color and originality to add the pi­ zazz. Sh^pely dcsigns with as few seamsas possible help the outfit to move with you." His trend-setting styles in­ clude sleek one-piece body suits in soft fabrics with a focus on bright geometric designs to complement feminine shapeli­ ness in the fight places. Among his two-piece crea­ tions are gossamer-light fabrics bespeckled with glitter and those with a shiny surface. All are trim fitting and free-to- move-in. But, before you step out to 'move' this season, think about the total look--grooming and fitness as well as fashion. When it comes to hair styles, control is the key word for all occasions. Straight or curvy, it's healthy, soft and neat. Especially for evening, long and short hair are swept back with whimsical hair accesso­ ries. Look for unique pieces to suit your mood, such as feathers and bows or even a tiny fan to capture the glimmer of night­ time lights. Well-cared-for hands and nails make an equally important fashion statement. Lots of mois­ turizer on hands and nails will keep both smooth and healthy throughout the winter. lb please today's highly inde­ pendent woman, polishes arc WINTER FASHIONS AND COSMETICS emptuuize gnflclr --ly natural beauty. Soft, shapely silhouettes and clear makeup that's deftly applied parallel today's focus on fitness and health. IVamlucent, shiny nd colors puD the entire look together. The Cutex experts recommend a texturixing basecoat underneath so nails are ̂ picture perfect.' U. l»7t ic eve- *or early evening cocktail hours, two coats pull the trim day-into-evening suit look to­ gether. Or for high-pitched disco evenings--to match the sleekest body-skimming fash­ ions such as those of Stavros-- three coats will keep up the daring, the unblushing alive- ness. Shiny, shea- makeup is de ri- gueur for winter, too. For night life it's intensified. But, the focus is on clear color. Applied to well-tended complexions, it 'catches the light, creating a tran­ sparently healthy image. There's no question that fash­ ion and cosmetics never camou­ flage but are in step with today's strict attention to good health and body fitness.

'New concepts in durable, quality home carpeting Homemakers looking for longer wear and beauty under tough winter conditions are dis­ covering a whole new idea in carpeting--carpets with a tough, durable urethane cushion built into the carpet. Because the padding is liter­ ally part of the carpet instead of being installed separately, car­ pet fibers are actually locked in place. According to field testing and user reports, this feature keeps the carpet's original beauty lasting longer. Testifying to this durability, carpets with Voracel® urethane attached padding are being used under especially rugged condi­ tions such as indoor running tracks, shopping center malls, restaurants and even golf coun­ try clubs where spiked shoes give them a working over. Tests also show urethane at­ tached padding doesn't support growth of mold or mildew. It's ideal for hallways, basements and family rooms where mois­ ture is most likely to occur. If water should seep (or even flood) under the attached cush- Cover and let stand 5 minutes before turning out. Makes 8 servings. Tip: If not used immediately, return to Micro-White pan, cover and refrigerate or freeze. ion the carpet is protected against the damage you nor­ mally expect under such adverse conditions. Another benefit of carpeting 1 with urethane attached padding is a resiliency which minimizes those deep impressions often left when furniture is moved. The new carpeting can be in­ stalled by the do-it-yourselfer without the extra job of cutting and laying a separate padding. It lies flat and doesn't require stretching or special tools. Carpeting with the urethane padding is available in high quality styles for any room and costs about the same as similar jute-backed grades (again, where a separate pad must also be purchased.) Carpeting brands with Vora­ cel urethane attached padding include Aldon, Barwick, Mon­ arch Galaxy, Nautilus, Shaw, Trend, Roxbury and Sears.
