A/W 1956/7
Designer : Lachasse Owen at Lachasse
Description : The scarab of Ancient Egyptians inspired this designer's latest line,
It is seen here in this suit of grey and tan diagonal weave wool.
The flying panels from the shoulder of the fitted jacket are worn inside the belt
and are pouched to simulate the folded wings of the scarab,
but are photographed here flowing free to show their cut.

S/S 1958
Fabric : Manuf. Moreau
Designer : Lachasse Owen of Lachasse
Description : This designer's latest "Fluid Line" is seen here in this suit
in a slubbed wool fabric in an unusual blue-toned coral.
The line features gradual broadening of the silhouette from just above the waist to the shoulder,
a slightly dropped shoulderline, funnel-shaped sleeves, a shorter jacket,
a lengthened skirt, narrow hips achieved by placing the seams
well to the back of the skirt and a soft body fit.
