...these men were experimenters and, although their experiments sometimes fail artistically, they add considerable excitement to the Bauhaus work: some utilized the texture of the cloth they paint on, others created directly on photographic film without a camera, carved into laminated plastic, or painted on glass. And most of them not only painted but designed buildings, fabrics, furniture, and tried their hands at other arts relevant to the visual environment...
Last week Peter Pan Foundations, Inc. was proudly claiming to have achieved a breakthrough-a bra without any seams at all. The secret is in a new drip-dry Chemstrand nylon fiber, which, once molded, holds its shape forever. To make the bra, the lace cloth is laid over a metal replica of a well-shaped bosom.

The cider rounds...
...grown slightly larger. A new, horizontally-laced front grill and a squared-off rear end give them a wider, more massive appearance. For the man who wants the look but not the leak of a convertible, the F85 and the 88 feature a sheet-metal roof contoured like a cloth top, even to the ripples that lend the illusion of a metal frame supporting sagging fabric...
