...have the world's wisest, noblest Congress, but what about the most fashion forward? In the U.S. House chamber, coats and ties are mandatory for men. Elsewhere they aren't so stuffy. Here are some of the chicest...
...downtown feel is also a bow to the '60s and '70s-- a sort of tribal-rock look. The clothes are cut tight to the body, not to say skimpy. Minis are micro, midriffs bare. Pinpricked Airtex, borrowed from athletes' uniforms, reigns here. Perhaps the chicest outfit in the group is a plain black vinyl shift. The very latest fashion fabric, polyester treated to appear holographic, appears in pretty iridescent tops.

But the big boom is now, in winter. These days, only the lucky find hotel rooms ("We just had to turn Charlie Chaplin away," a clerk...
...Chicest at the moment is a crowded hole in Montparnasse called New Jimmy's, where Novelist Francoise Sagan and cinema's Roger Vadim, Jacques Charrier and Jane Fonda turn up to Hully Gully. London's discotheques range from the superexclusive Annabel's in Berkeley Square, where Guardsmen, debutantes and top-drawer jet-setters can order an excellent full-course dinner as late as 3 a.m., to the come-one-come-all Crazy Elephant in Jermyn Street, where the beat is blue, the mood frenetic, and the Shake is the thing...
