The same fashion show, using pro
fessional models, was given recently at
the Four Seasons Restaurant in New
York. Some 200 invited guests witness
ed the transformation of Fieldcrest’s
colorful products into a stunning collec
tion that ranges from evening gowns to
bikinis, bicycling outfits, cocktail out
fits, cocktail dresses, hostess gowns,
duffle coats for ladies, carcoats for men
and even a Fieldcrest-lined mink coat.
The fabric designs used in the en
tire collection were created by Field
crest’s designing team, headed by Edith
Jay, of the Fieldcrest New York sales
office.
The fashion show resulted from a
challenge to the nation’s foremost de
signers. Each of the participating de
signers selected his or her preferred de
sign at Fieldcrest’s New York show
room and created the resulting fashions
directly from the same towels, blankets,
bedspreads, sheets and shower curtains
that are now in department stores
throughout the country.

received well over 200 new members
and I would say that the drive is meet
ing with good response.”

a letter, informational material, and an
application card to every Fieldcrest em

it to their supervisor.
If any employee failed to receive an
application card or if the card has been
misplaced, the employee should contact
the departmental supervisor or area
personnel manager to obtain another
card.
