Playmen started out to imitate Playboy, although more prudently: the first Girl of the Month held her hands over her bosom. But in the last year or so, Playmen has taken on a style and candor of its own. Playmen's nudes are women, not girls, and rather normal women at that. Reflecting European tastes, Playmen does not display the mammary obsession that Playboy profitably discerns in Americans. Says Publisher Tattilo: "The U.S. is a matriarchy.

Playmen probably is helping to change official Italian attitudes. Five years ago it was dangerous in Italy to publish a photograph of a woman with a bare bosom. Such pictures-for instance, in Vogue's Italian edition-no longer provoke surprise.

...midi skirt is ungainly, unflattering and unwarranted. But it is nonetheless a fashion fact. Rebellious consumers have raised voices, but the hemlines have stayed down: the fall collections include hardly a mini. Still, the new lengths offer compensations, sometimes by baring the bosom, often-in a sudden, gratuitous flash-by revealing the upper thigh. Zippers and buttons, snaps and laces-all open a variety of ways designed to persuade girls, and girl watchers, that all is not lost...
