...first time since Courrèges lifted hemlines two years ago - thus ushering in the yé-yé look and youth cult that nearly blew haute couture as well as skirts sky-high - there was news aplenty last week from the big high-fashion houses of Paris. Out to prove that yé-yé is only soso, 36 top designers presented new collections for spring and summer, striking out in all sorts of new directions...
...North Sea. What, then, is a "mini-Shetland"? A Shetland pony that has strayed into the territory of the head-shrinking Jivaro Indians of Peru? Not quite.

At Paris' Olympia Music Hall, it took 35 flics to keep back the girls, who retaliated...
...visors reminiscent of the welder's mask or bookkeeper's eye-shield. They were launched 18 months ago by Coty Award-winning Milliner Halston, who was inspired by the green eyeshield worn by his elderly seamstress. Soon they were shown by other designers (Rudi Gernreich, André Courréges, Paco Rabanne), but they did not catch on until this year. Suddenly they are everywhere: at the five and ten for $1, at Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman (home of Halston...
