Y. Couture Council predicts: ladylike accessories). . . the final touches to that look of luxury This year fashion goes all-out for accessories that "belong." Nothing stands out or makes a vulgar noise ... all tend to blend in head-to-toe harmony. The lady wears a hat this season. It's the acces­ sory that sets the mood. New hats slouch close to the head. Even big garden-party brims set low on the brow, sometimes slanted to a seductive tilt. Lots of flow­ ers set a romantic mood, bare straw keeps an ele­ gant tone. Other brims: the narrow face-framer, the cloche, the tennis brim, the army fatigue look, the printed brim. The •little" hats get a head start with pulled- down berets, navy tams, tight little caps, turbans and crocheted caps. A big little look is the "cupcake" hat perched on the forehead with a frothy veil. For mysterious even­ ings, veils shade the face, sometimes asparkle with glitter. . Scarves travel to many new places this season. The scarf-wrapped head is the sporty tie-on with big- skirts and tops. Scarf- print umbrellas, sarongs, beach wraps are tied up in new ways. They twist to improvise bras, halters and bare tops. Shirred tubes, deep- plunge halters and a whole clan of tiny tops show up on scarf counters. There are even scarf-printed clutch bags. Provincial prints, Afri­ can and Chinese motifs are a few faraway themes; gingham, stripes and bright pastels stay closer to home. Square shapes win over oblong in the scarf stakes. Jewelry is discreetly there. You can see right through the transparent lucite or crystal waterfalls, The following fashion comments are presented courtesy of Mildred Sulli­ van, Director of the New York Couture Council, and are excerpts from her "Trend Tips" prepared for editors attending the 62nd Annual Press Week held early in January. Press Week featured spe­ cial fashion events to provide the editors with fashion predictions for 1974. ice-cube bracelets, showers of bugle beads. Shoes step in the right direction or trip you up. The clunky shoe is a big no-no with soft skirts. The light, delicate shoe with a high shapely heel steps ahead. An open, flat­ ter shoe or a ballet flat also works. Bet on the sexy sandal in beautiful sculp­ ted shapes, the halter sling, the bow-tied vamp or step into a pump, spec­ tator, an open-toe or a Mary Jane. For day, it's the close- flttlng oxford, the stack- heeled loafer, the monk- strap pants shoe. For play, it's a denim look in brushed pigskin, all kinds of canvas espa- drilles, printed fabric wedgies, clogs in macrame and tooled leather, woven leather sandals. Ankle-breaker plat­ forms are still around, for those who insist but the percentage Is minimal. Colors get their kick from ready-to-wear . . .. the bright pastels, red patent, creme beiges and neutrals, keep the color going right to the toe. Stockings take their cues from shoes. The idea is continuous color below the hem -- monochromatic. Sheers and subtle pat­ terns are pretty and prac­ tical with hidden tummy trimmers. Trendy knee- hlghs brighten the Spring - scene in flpwer patterns, metallic looks, tie-dye ef­ fects, denims, and rhine- stone trim. Textures are smooth and silky, never bulky. Belts are great blenders. Narrow and natural -- in dyed cobra, cork, straw, 8a tent, tortoise and plas-c. Metallic kid and rhine- stones shine up evening belts. The tooled cowboy belt, the beaded belt and mini- concho -- the sporty natu­ rals. Jewelry detailing on buckles, side-buckles, and the wide '50's cinch are refined touches. Handbags clutch up. or stay soft and squashy. The envelope bag sends the big Spring message in bright pastels, shiny patent and well-coordinated fabrics and prints. This season's shoulder- bag has a deep, narrow shape and removable straps. The knitting bag with wood or bright plastic handles is another hang­ er-on. Recycled denims, satch­ els and luggage totes carry on. Tooled leathers, cane/ leather mixes, and canvas bags are good sports. Gloves are light-fin­ gered, with string crochet inserts and cool cut-outs. Mixes of colors and natu­ rals have the sophisticated touch. The shortie glove in pigskin, in buttery neu­ trals, in all the Spring colors keeps fashion right at hand. SWEET COLORS \ The Spring '74 woman has a sweet tooth . . . and who could resist those confectionary colors, frothy fabrics, gentle re­ finements and--especially -- that chance to look more romantically femi­ nine than ever?
