Meanwhile, Maazel last week was named music consultant to the Pittsburgh Symphony. But wait. Hasn't André Previn been music director there for the past eight years? Yes, but three weeks ago, Previn, 55, accepted an offer from the Los Angeles Philharmonic to succeed Carlo Maria Giulini as its music director beginning in January 1986. Previn's departure from Pittsburgh was sealed when he lost an ugly power struggle with Managing Director Marshall Turkin over the orchestra's artistic direction, a rupture that Previn declines to confirm.

Except for his Mondrian motif, Saint Laurent was not comfortable with minis; the late '60s belonged to André Courrèges. In fact, despite the influence of specific designs, Saint Laurent has not always led a crowd. He raised skirts in 1959, five years too soon.
