Expected price range: $50 to $150. Calvin Klein is offering a sleek and sexy new backless sundress ($190). For buyers wanting something a little more modest, Klein has oversize chambray linen shirt dresses ($290) that can be tied tight at the waist or left free to ripple in the wind...
Gala designer jumpsuits, selling for up to $1,000, bear as little relationship to Rosie's garb as the QE2 to a Liberty ship. They come strapless or backless or off-the-shoulder; camisoled, ruffled and high-necked, or deeply décolleté. At stores like I. Magnin's in San Francisco and Chicago and Bloomingdale's in New York, which has eight departments (including one named In Flight) selling jumpsuitery, they come in soft, billowy silks and satins, polished cotton and gabardine, velvet and crepe de Chine in art deco prints. Head-turning hues include...
...China they call it min ge, meaning popular country songs, but the folks who sing it certainly don't go around wearing backless sequined tunics or rhinestone shirts.

Consequently, Coury is often on the aesthetic defensive, making heated claims for such slick popsicles as the Bee Gees by stating, "They...
...instance, there's the Grateful Dead's Shakedown Street, which has a few new tunes, a few classic tunes not on any of their other albums, and a few redone numbers. It's a Dead album, and it's good. Nuff said. Eric Clapton has a little number called Backless out, and it sounds somewhat like his last album. Not that the songs are't (comfortably) rocking, well--crafted and often very satisfying, but Clapton used to be one of the finest guitarists around and he just seems unwilling to break out of his safe, self--imposed semi--mediocrity...
