NEW YORK (UPI) - Adele

Simpson, nearing half a
century in New York’s
garment industry, dipped

into the past but brought it
up to the '80s in her fall and
winter collection for 1983.

Mrs. Simpson greeted the
nation’s buyers and
reporters, talked about the
endurance of the American
woman's pursuit of good
taste, quality and integrity,
and gave full credit to the
designer who has taken over
at the firm, Donald Hopson.

What Hopson produced
was a lot of the looks of the
1920s, the '30s, and the ‘40s
brought into the 1980s. Even
the background musi¢ was
nostalgic — the big band era
of the late 30s and early ‘40s
with Benny Goodman,
Tommy Dorsey and Glenn
Miller.

“We just thought it was
time our guests heard
something besides loud
rock,” said Mrs. Simpson's
daughter, Joan Raines,
executive vice president of
the company.

Right out of the 1920s was
a costume of slim coat in soft
plum wool with a fur collar
in sable reaching to the
waistline, over a slim print
dress in the same tones. The
hat was a Frank Olive-
designed cloche, brimless
and face hugging.

Also updated from the *20s
and '30s, the flapperish look
of street length late day
dresses in printed chiffons
with fabric draped to hug the
hipline, the waistline ignored
in dresses that were gathered
through the bodice from a
low, round neckline.

Other touches from the
past: centre back seams for
daytime hosiery; and fur
neckpieces for slim suits,
coats or dresses, as in a gray-
white. fox skin draped
around the neck of a gray-
suited model, or a red fox fur
on a camel-colored pat-
terned coat and dress outfit.

The “cocktail dress” of the
1940s and ‘50s made a
comeback with various
versions of short (just below
the knee) blacks in crepes,
coin dotted silks and other
luxury fabrics. These were
cut into deep V fronts, bare
backs and many baring the
shoulders totally.

Simpson showed just as
Many luxury fabrics in

- The first step is the
shampoo. Unlike a shampoo
