Background: A GALA PRESENTATION OF THE VERY LATEST FRENCH FASHIONS WAS HELD AT THE IVOIRE HOTEL, IN ABIDJAN ON TUESDAY NIGHT (28TH).

THE SHOW WAS COMPERED BY MADAME RAOUL BARMOIN. IT INCLUDED CLOTHES FROM GUY LAROCHE, JACQUES HEIM, JEANNE LANVIN, JEAN DESSES, J. LOUIS SCHERRER AND LOUIS FERAUD, FIRST PRESENTED AT THE CANNES FESTIVAL LAST OCTOBER. MARY QUANT CLOTHES FOR THE YOUNGER WOMAN WERE IN EVIDENCE. ACCESSORIES CAME FROM CHRISTIAN DIOR, CHRISTIAN JOURDAN, PIERRE CARDIN, BALLY, ALL DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE MODELS AT THE SHOW. THE FAMOUS HOUSES OF NINA RICCI AND MARYSE BLANCHARD PROVIDED THE JEWELLERY.

ALL THE HAIRSTYLES WERE DONE BY JEANNE RAMPAL.

THE ROMANTIC STYLE WAS MUCH IN EVIDENCE IN THE LINGERIES, WHICH BORE THE INFLUENCE OF THE STYLES POPULAR IN THE TWENTIES. THE TWENTIES STYLE WAS ALSO NOTICEABLE AMONGST SOME OF THE OTHER CREATIONS.

A NUMBER OF GOVERNMENT VIPS WERE AT THE FASHION SHOW.
