Sounds easy enough, but there’s one hitch— she has to work over a year ahead of time — forecasting fashion trends long before clothes are off the designers’ sketch pads, much less in the stores. How does she do it? The fash ion coordinator, catalog division of J. C. Penny Co. explains: “I talk to a lot of fashion sources, read a lot of domestic periodicals and go to all the fashion show ings. Just looking at people helps. And I’m familiar with the mark down racks at stores—what hasn’t sold. Fashion makes sense, too. You don’t have to be the smartest graduate of Radcliffe to know that certain seasons will bring on certain colors and styles.” The way fashion trends are born has changed in the past 10 years, Mrs. Sorem says. “There used to be a filtering down proc ess,” she points out. “The couture houses in Paris would originate trends that would then find their way across the ocean to New York City and the expensive stores on 57th Street. Eventually, those same looks would end up at the cheaper stores, but it was months after the original had ap peared in Europe. “This started changing a dec ade ago,” she goes on. “People in the United States needed clothes to wear for their active lives. In England, there was an uprising of youth. Fashions started coming from the young people on the streets. As a result, trends today come from all over the world.” According to this fashion ex pert, today’s look has two main ingredients — individuality and a casual manner. “Women don’t want to all look alike,” Mrs. Sorem says. “Now they can buy separates, put them together and change the look for a job, or for a date.” She attributes this individual ity partly to the ill-fated midi skirt. “When designers tried to Physics Colloquium Features Weed Killer Ever wonder how a physicist kills weeds?
