...dress-for- success crowd -- only for those who have succeeded. Then there are the enthusiasts of top ready-to-wear designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier and Claude Montana and several of the Japanese, all intellectual, all looking toward futuristic silhouettes. To them, Lacroix is a crashing irrelevance. Alan Bilzerian, owner of two au courant shops in Massachusetts, who heavily backs the Japanese, writes Lacroix off briskly: "It's like a foul ball; he hit it over the fence, but it didn't go anywhere.

...Yves St. Laurent also carries a $1,000 tag. But leather jackets with embroidered eagles, by Parisian Designer Claude Montana, priced at up to $2,400, sold out in two weeks last fall at Bloomingdale's in New York. Retailers report that the priciest items sell best. Alan Bilzerian, owner of two stores in Boston and Worcester, Mass., claims: "The customer wants one incredible piece.
