...City of Lights" was a source of infinite wonder. With her husband and three-year-old daughter Duyen, Mai ("Snow Flower" in Vietnamese) explored the palace grounds at Versailles. When Ky was busy, Viet Nam's Second Lady delightedly wove her way through the salons of Courrèges and Lanvin. The Vice President was spared a whopping bill only by his wife's prudent deference to protocol. Said she wistfully: "I have no occasion to wear such gowns. At official functions I wear only my national costume...
...heart desires in Paris' high-fashion houses. But the designers these days trend more to mass-market ready-to-wears, known as prét à porter-and to more pants, more boots, more chains, more turtlenecks and, of course, more transparency. For his fall collection, André Courrèges' main excitement was a white, rib-knit jump suit, with a tunic for daytime wear and a sequined pants outfit with see-through top for after dark.

To go with wives' "Lilly" summer shifts, Palm Beach Designer Lilly Pulitzer is offering a new collection of "Men's Stuff" that includes flamboyantly printed "P.J.s" (Pulitzer Jeans) and Cuban-style quayabera shirts, worn with the squared-off tails outside.

...nasty winter for Paris' most celebrated couturiers. Even André Courrèges, 44, had buyers at his latest showing sitting on their hands. But Courrèges is finding a happier home in the U.S. Boutiques carrying Courreges frocks at prices ranging from $200 to $500 have opened to sensational applause at Sakowitz Bros, in Houston and Bonwit Teller in New York. Bonwit's peddled 150 outfits the first day, leading Andre to confirm that he will spend six months a year in the U.S. "The American way of thinking," he noted, "corresponds...
