-WTO •em The biggest fashion news for spring is in the area of fab­ rics and textures --lush vel­ vets, buttery suedes, woven leathers and inetalfes are all making appearances in day­ time a« well as evening clothes. The look is poliMhed and elegant, designed for die working woman who goes directly from office to evening events. The key to canying off die transition, die switch in mood from work to play, will be accessories and, above all, fine diamond jewdcy. * * Y- Fashion investments *"• ' -- ' ~ V Women of die '80s require that their clothes and accesso­ ries fill as many roles as they do. This means they are investing in high quality cloth­ ing and diamond jpwelry that is classic, versatile and as­ sured of lasting value. A change in accessories from simple stujts into bolder diamond earrings and a pave diamond link necklace takes your suede blouson Shirt and full skirt from boardroom to ballroom. A diamond bracelet and pair of earrings give a glittery suit jacket an after-hours ele­ gance. The suedes, leathers and velvets that we see so much of for spring have a great defini­ tion to them that requires strong jewelry. The coin neck­ lace studded with (fiamonds on a heavy chain is a classic daytime diamond design that will come back stronger than ever this season. Eye-catching combinations The architectural shapes and styles of pace-setting designers such as Armani and Valentino will be repeated in all price ranges, and are best complemented by graphic, geometric pieces of diamond jewelry with the same lean, modern lines. Jewelry designers achieve that graphic effect with the combi nation of black onyx and diamonds, or with the combination of white and yel­ low gold in a single piece of diamond jewelry. The fabrics for evening have an even lusher look than the daytime leathers and suedes. Voluminous folds of satin, velvet and taffeta in styles with exaggerated shoul­ der and waist lines are remi­ niscent of earlier eras. Beaded ami sequined fabrics have also made a strong return.

Ihe more fluid clothes for evening call for equally grace­ ful diamond jewelry. Full curving earrings, perhaps with a single pear-shaped diamond pendant, are the kind of high quality diamond jewels that are romantic yet never go out of style. Evening glamour A bib-type necklace, fea­ turing a collection of round and marquise diamonds, worn with a velvet strapless dress is the ultimate in evening gla­ mour. Seeking out quality pieces, whether in clothing or jew­ elry , is the best way to stay ahead of the fashion whirl without falling victim to short­ lived trends.

FASHIONS BRIDGE GAP BETWEEN EUROPEAN STYLING, U.S. TECHNOLOGY Claude Clement's "MADE IN U.S. of A." spring collec­ tions are best described as young, casual luxe, and die look is accordingly adapted to men, women and children. Ihe major connecting link is the important and extensive variety of colors. Every gar­ ment is dyed to match in one of twenty-five shades from a superb color palette. The bottoms are the key "thrust in the spring fashion story. They are 100 percent cotton drill and styled with a focus on useful detail. There is liberal use of multi- v pie pockets, industrial zip­ pers, enameled hardware, elastic and drawstring clo­ sures. There is a variety of lengths represented -- from the draw­ string balloon short and the sport short through the ber- muda, clamdigger, and sport pantaloon to die ankle length pantaloon and the very updated basic. The tops easily comple­ ment the bottoms and are equally strong in detailing and impact. Fluid, dyed to match knit shirts combine playful styling with cool luxury. Dra­ matically voluminous blouson jackets in knitted and woven fabrications carry through the * detailing story. The nautical look will be popular in spring fashions. Nautical red, white and blue is seen in sportswear, suits, dresses and accessories. Handbags, deckshoes and belts will carry the same theme to make the look com­ plete.
