...Fall ready-to-wear shows in Paris, the most important bazaar on the fashion calendar, were in full crush. At Dior, house of the very hot designer John Galliano, the props indicated that the young maestro had been thinking hard about a dreamland Orient. As the crowds tripped around the delicate bridge to nowhere on their way to find or steal seats, one conservatively dressed businessman waited quietly in the shadows.

Her legs are slightly spread, but the voyeuristic gratification usually afforded us by such images is denied by our recognition of the opaque, flesh-toned tights which ascend...
...Crew and Victoria's Secret are all but drained of hiking boots, chamois shirts and silk tap pants; we read in the newspapers of waiting lists for $4,000 handbags and $75,000 automobiles. And from every TV set, newspaper and magazine the purveyors of the modern-day bazaar hawk every imaginable consumable, potable and disposable...
