Coin International, the leader of the new bond street, has achieved a 3-D effect by bonding a semitransparent Japanese print over a polka-dot crepe, thus allowing the polkas to show through the print. It is experimenting with scratchy materials such as fiber glass and burlap, which can be made wearable by bonding to a smooth inner skin. Also looming is a new rash of reversibles. Because bonding makes two-faced suits and coats possible, designers may soon be turning themselves inside out to give customers two costumes in one. Instead of going home to change...
...medal, since he had won minor prizes at the Carnegie International in 1958 and the Venice Biennale in 1960. One of the many European art brut abstractionists who explored the beauties of raw texture after World War II, Burri makes a sort of mad Braille with collages of blistered burlap (called sacco), charred wood (combustioni), and lately, slashed and melted sheets of colored plastic. How to make an esthetic of ugliness is his prime concern, but in the fresh face of contemporary attempts to create more colorful and realistic art, Burri's tortured veneers have come to seem...

The Turkish Cypriots own no ports and have to depend on relatively rare shipments by submarine from Turkey. To add to the ports they control, the Greek Cypriots have built a new one at Boghaz, north of Famagusta. Last month an Egyptian freighter with its name and homeport covered with burlap docked at Boghaz and unloaded five Soviet-made torpedo boats. Early this month 32 Soviet tanks arrived at Boghaz...
...marriage was celebrated by the weaving of the Unicorn tapestries, which Rorimer acquired for the Met. He was director of the Met's Rockefeller-endowed, monastery-like Cloisters, overlooking the Hudson, from its very inception, when he virtually designed it by staking out full-scale mock-ups in burlap. Chosen from among 150 potential candidates to become director in 1955, he today heads up a curatorial staff of 128, administers a budget of $4,800,000 ($1,300,000 provided by the city), has behind him a war chest of more than $1,000,000 available for new acquisitions...
