Fashion Show Lavish, Luxurious And Exotic By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP) -- A million- aire's dream of a mink trouser suit from Canada, gorgeous silk- en saris from India and dazzling African cotton prints went on parade Monday as the Common- wealth in all its rich diversity put on a unique fashion show for charity. Princess Margaret, Common- wealth high commissioners and a cross-section of London soci- ety who had paid $15 a ticket watched as 19 countries from Australia to Trinidad displayed their fashion highlights in the symbolic heart of the Common- wealth--the prime ministers conference room at Marlbor- ough House. Arnold Smith of Canada, Com- monwealth __secretary-general, received Princess Margaret at the last of three shows Monday, held in the elegant room with its glittering chandeliers, pink damask walls and richly gilded ceilings that has seen four meetings of Commonwealth leaders. RAISES $77,000 The fashion panorama, de- vised by a 19-year-old fashion student named Rebecca Banner- man, raised £30,000 ($77,000) in ticket sales and donations for research hood diseases. Canada with 37 items, one- third especially designed by some of the country's leading couturiers, was second-biggest exhibitor after Britain. The show theme . was December fashion around the Common- wealth and the 23 Canadian firms--mostly from Montreal and Toronto--leaned heavily on furs and snowy-weather clothes. The mink trouser suit, de- scribed as "'priceless" by BBC personality Judity Chalmers, one of the commentators, was of black and white pelts, worked in half-inch strips in a chevron pattern to look like tweed--sure- into crippling child-|gold sari outfits; ly the ultimate in casual display of wealth. Another fur highlight was a ag ermine suit priced at $2,- 500. A Carnaby Street touch was provided by dazzling mini-dress- es, some with huge pop-art de- signs worked into the fabric. Two kooky outfits featuring transparent plastic capes trimmed with flowers and feath- ers drew the comment from a Ceylonese onlooker: 'I didn't know you could wear things like that in the Canadian winter." NO CUSTOMS PROBLEM The Canadian outfits, chosen by fashion executive Nancy McKaskell of Montreal, were flown over by Air Canada a month ago and suffered none of the customs problems that hit three small Commonwealth countries--Guyana, Ghana and Gambia. Their exhibits were still tied up at London Airport the night of the show. Zambia's cooper jewelry ran into the same trouble. Other highlights of the slick, 70-minute show included a mag- nificent antique wedding dress from Pakistan, woven from 20 pounds of pure gold; temple dancers from Kandy, Ceylon, ushering in sumptuous cloth-of- the peacock colors of West Indian mini-dress- es and beachwear; the cheetah- fur suits from Uganda. With the exception of Can- ada's splendid furs and vivid evening and teen-age fashion, the offerings of the old white dominions seemed rather pallid beside the brilliant flair of the Eastern and African countries. The show goes to Harrogate, a Yorkshire spa town, during the weekend before the clothes disperse to buyers here or back to their native lands. COST OF CARELESSNESS Accidents in Canada are the com t. cause of death in those under 40. In Canada in 1964, accidents including acci- dental poisoning and all forms of violence, caused 12,396 deaths.
