Fashion Designers Have Turned Down 1'he Short Koad!
The other night the dream was so
vivid. No...it was a nightmare. I
walked into a department store
and there were only shorts and
mini-skirts. Please, please don't
let this happen to us non-thing
people.
--But-iLjeemjL that the fashion
designers have turned down the
short road of fashion. Shorter hem
lines are in for this spring ana
summer. And according to the.
"May EBONY it is that time again
in our unpredictable fashion hi
story to expose our legs.
What will be the styles?...Bloom
ers, mini bermudas, flirty skirts
and easy fitting dresses. For
evening wear EBONY suggests
— thigh-high fashions or elegant
— shorts.
-The popular magazine also sng.
gests open-toe pumps, high-heel
sandals or sling back shoes to
compliment the shorter fashions.
