...midi-dress and the maxicoat, harem pants and bolero jackets-all are credited to Adolfo. His lace and or gandy blouses, gingham dirndl skirts and big-brimmed straw hats have turned teeny-boppers into minor Elvira Madigans. This spring it was the patchwork look-on full-length skirts and matching shawls-that put new life into quilting bees and earned for Adolfo a Coty Award. Last week he presented his fall collection: jeweled vests with fringe to the floor, blown-up fur berets and scarves, including everyday kerchiefs, monogrammed boas and a nine-foot muffler of patchwork mink...

One bountiful mannequin almost frugged herself out of a sheer organdy miniskirt that was hitched by a strap in front to a little bolero top, cut short enough to expose the under-slope of her bosom. The gentlest touch of all: big imitation posies that were strewn over his pants, dresses, socks and, as an afterthought, incorporated into his models' hairdos. "I got up early this morning and started cutting out those flowers for the hair," said the usually...
