BC. fashion parade

’ A drill of a different kind’

was called at H.M.C.S.
Discovery this week, when
British Columbia fashions
went on parade at a special
review for the press. Later
they were shown to three
thousand naval veterans in
Vancouver for their annual
reunion.

Twenty-one Local
manufacturers, members of
the B.C. Fashion and Needle
Trades Association unveiled
their fall styles, ranging
from men's and
casual, business and formal
wear to high fashion
leathers; from fundamental
boating and ski wear to
designs for holidays and
cruises.

Fashion is a multi-million
dollar manufacturing in-
dustry in B.C. — and

growing. Its promotional,

efforts are assisted by'
Fashion-Canada, an arm of
the federal Department of
Industry, Trade and
Commerce, and by the
Department of Economic
Development, Government
of B.C.

This year, the Association
gained extra support when

Ota

women’s-

Woodward Stores joined in
and produced “B.C. on
Parade”, a musical which

will be seen by consumers °

Labor Day week, at five
Woodward Lower Mainland

- Jocations.

Leading the way in easy
living coordinates and
eruisewear are well
established names like
Jantzen, Aero Garment,
Koret and Surrey Classics.
Textures are varied.
Popular Jantzen swimsuits
and cover-ups in shiny

Chinese influenced prints; .

Aero's Tyme for men and
Pulse for ladies, in velvet
and denim; Koret showed
gabardine and velvet with
coordinated blouses; and
Surrey Classics add leather
to blends and wool in their
coat line and include knits
and gabardine in jumpsuits
and coordinales.

Seven of the manufac-
turers featured leather.
Coast Sportswear showed
classic styles in a variety of

lengths and rich colors for

men and women; so did
Gassy Jack, whose designer
Gabriel Levy is a miember of
the Fashion Designers

i

Association of Canada.
Included in that line was a
range of light to very dark
suede coats, pencil slim
skirts with swagger and
short jackets.

Neto is well known far the

exotic in leather. Their one- *

of-a-kind numbers were
highlighted by a mink paw
lined coat for a man and a
soft leather dress with
fantastically draped full

skirt.

With fresh appeal for the
young, is Gas Town Talk, 8
relalively newcomer to the
scene. The company was
organized three years ago
for total production in ladies
leather jackets.

For men only, Symax
featured leather but his
range runs to slylized coats
suitable for B.C.’s northern
climes, Symax shares this
latter category with Jones
Tent, well known for their
Pioneer brands of outer-
wear.

Pioneer now produces a
highly acceptable line of ski
clathes. Another newcomer
in the last year, Sport-
scaster of Canada designs
with the Serious skier in
mind but with a high fashion
bent. Tyral's style and color
combinations have long
been favorites in the west
and this year’s bright solid
jackets with coordinated
pants and trendy tri-color
one-piecers are no ex-
ception.

In competitive sport, are
Cardinal Sportswear and

_ Western Cap and Garment.

Cardinai take care of 75
percent of the uniform and
crest business from
Saskatchewan west. Little
league baseball, hockey,
soccer — you name it and
for adults, too. These

companies combine colors’

in every new way for any
team. Western Cap also
shape hats and caps to any
head from stewardesses to
umpires and hunters.

But -back to serious
business. Men’s wear has
the contemporary touch.
Leisure suits from lounge in
velyet, gabardine and
ultrasuede; colorful fermals
from Drapeshire, as well as
styles to please the
discerning businessman in

relax at home. Elizabeth
Gordon Ltd. and Original
Blouse are feminine
specialists.

The former is the only
lingerie manufacturer in the
west and in ‘‘B.C. on
Parade" exemplified their
styles with traditional
peignoir sets and unusual
lace decoration, Double
cuffs and collar on one set
were effectively outlined in
ribbon with wide ribbon
belt. The company has
added sportswear coor-
dinates this year to their
growing line of at-home
clothes.

For fali '76, Original
Blouse launches a line of
jumpsuits in a variely of
slyles and fabries for casual
and evening wear. This is in
addition to their well
established tops and blouse
ine.

Specialty shirts are not
the exclusive domain of
women’s wear. Townline is
the largest casual shirt
manufacturer in the west
and has a colorful line of

plains and hundreds of floral

and abstract patterns in

_knits and woven polyesters

and blends.

The B.C. Fashion and
Needle Trades .Association,
up of
manufacturers in the ready-

volye others who develop
fashions for the home, as
well. Like MacGill In-
