EN .VOGUE :EN VOGUEi "n, aVOGUE ENVO U lNvuw IwIlrý The, new synthetics..become fashion (SOP) The texture of the new age is decidedly woven with man-madefabrica. Polyester and nylon nucrotîbre, a Japýanese concoction, will make synhetcsfashionable again by making, them buttery as silk -- but they are flot' alone. The second coming of synthetics bas been building steamn for quite soine Urne now. After the atoniic-age rosiness that accompanied the lau2nch, of many man-maâdes, a floor of bad-taste garments gave them a very bad rap. The beginning of the '80s was stridently natural fibre,' top designers mwore off synthetics, and the feel-good appeal of cottons, silks and wools seemed to prov e that- nature had known betr ail along. FoIIow 'the neckline of your fashion The Icind of necklace you Wear depends upon the neckine of your fashion and should follow it, while paying pleaaing comliments to the length of your néek Girls'with -long neeks look marvelous in a choker or collar <f gold, perbaps atone set,and can have l'un with sevea gold strands grouped together at the neckline. A tapering gold necklace is -moet becoming to a wide neck. Delicate gold Chaula are perfect for smnall, dainty girls. The tail, larger girl can bask in the dlight of lcnowing that she càn wear the bolder, weighty look in necklaces of gold. Then aerobics bit. The sweat <f bouncing bodies and fitness from pumping iron created a whole new set of demands' that the naturals could not meet alone. Activewear and active sportswear, whole new categories ofçclothing, were born. Suddenly, there was a need for something that would move with you: something like Spandex, then close to 20 years old. It supported the, body, , was comfortable and displayed your success with situps for ail the world te see. And with the fitness-inspired interest in jogging, climbing, skiing and'other outdoor sports came the desire for something' that could do it ail: take sweat and transport or «wick' it away from the bod , keep you warm ad dy, be eathabl e, have a getfecorne in. ail the right colours and , not, cost too much: soeething like Gore-tex, the first technique for creating breathable rainwear.. 1The new synthetics, born for fitness in the gym and the surf; on bikes, tracks and moun- taintopa, quickly graduated to the street and becaine fashion. That evolution is not new: synthetic fabrics have traditionally been created in response te specific needs. Dacron and rayon were created as alternatives te cotton (Dacron was touted as the alternative te everything); nylon te replace silk (one of its first applications was te replace the silk in parachutes during World War II); and Lycra was created te replace the rubber that was ubiquitous in what used te ha called foundation garments. Multinational giants, such as fibre-inaker DuPont and outwear makers such as Montreal's Consoltex, are constantly coming up with new materials designed for the increasingly precise needa of athletes and the rest <f us. They've made labels required reading, and now nearly 60 par cent <f shoppers take the trouble to doit-- up from nearly no one a decade ago when Gore-tex was introduced. Take the business <f body temnparature, for instance. It bas given birth te fabrics such as Dermaflex Radiant that use' cerarnie particles in awaterprQof breathable coating te prevent body heat from escaping - while it takes away the moisture that makes you cold. Soft And the need for warmth without bulk created fibres like Thermax. (Its opposite, Coolmax, was developed for dry coolness.) Then theres the feel <f fabrics. Pure nylons with naines such as Tactel ýand Supplex, used extensively -in surfing wear and other active sportswear, 'have technical properties that give them ail the durability associated with nylon, and are amazingly soft - no more crinkly, scratchy noises and unpleasant feel. And they're weatherproof and breath- able, te boot. But more than the fascinating technicalities of sportswear, more than' the new fashionability of microfibre, is the coming universality of Lycra. The people at DuPont are. loeking te put, a little of the feel and body of Lycra inte quite literally everything you wear: your panties and. bra, socks and hose, sweaters and pants, dresses and suits. Everything you wear for business and for f'un, at night and during the day. ToRDays Classies SUSAN BRISTOL Have now arrived Up to 60% OFF winter stock!
