leathers debuted | Youthful VANCOUVER MANUFAC- TURER Marquis of London has introduced a new fashion- forward, contemporary line for Fall “94 called J. Line. By Carol Crenna Contributing Writer Catering to the younger woman, between 19 and 45, the collection features Sleek, body-conscious sil- houettes in jackets. vests, skirts and pants. There are also dresses for holiday-wear English domestic lambskin and semi-distressed cowhide are used to create crapped and fitted jackets, waist- and hip-length fitted vests, short and fong narrow skirts and slim-cut jean-styled pants. Nicole Whelan, marketing diree- tor and daughter of company owner John Whelan, states that Marquis of London is focusing much more attention on detail, adding triple topstitched seams and showing innovative accents such as faux pocket flaps attached to back belts. Jackets are a popular item, espe- cially the short, fitted version Uhat zips up on one side and is cinched with a wide waist belt that has a purse attached. The “young trench” style fiued trench is also popular. Colors for the line do not differ from the more classic Marquis label which includes mocha brown, dark green, tans and black. The line is priced below the reg- ular Marquis collection, but John Whelan states that it is not meant as a lesser priced division, it is simply because less leather footage is used on J. Line, which primarily offers shorter styles. The new line will be sold in Canada this fall at The Bay. Holt Renfrew and boutiques such as Browns and Melrose in Eastern Canada. ASK WAYNE Graduated 1968 from the International Fabricare Institute in Stlverspring, Muryland. Q: Does Drycleaning et Dyes? A:A consumer recently purchased a garment that contained a dryclean only label. During a conversation with the clerk. the customer was told that it was only necessary to dryclean the article once, and that one drycleaning would set the dye and from then on the article could be washed. Drycleaning has absolutely no dye setting properties. If an article is tabeled as dryclean. then it must always be drycleaned.
