...deeply slashed camel-colored midi over a maroon mini skirt and topped some of his evening wear with necklines that do not stop till they hit the waist. Bill Blass settles for the double hemline for daywear and pulls out all stops at night with a series of multilevel chiffon dresses, plus some crepes with hems that look more like jack-o'-lanterns' teeth.
