Rome was something else again, and the "else" in translation read "glamour." From Forquet's flowing saris to De Barentzen's dirndl-skirted rain dress to Lancetti's denim and organdy evening gown, elegance was clearly the theme of the day. And of the night, too. thanks to Top Designer Princess Irene Galitzine, whose patio pajamas (patterned in mauve and pea-green poppies) and open-front, open-back nightgowns (layer-wrapped to conceal seams) stopped the show in Rome, but will only start it somewhere else...

Golden winds up with the tale of a peddler whose first name is still a household word. He was a Bavarian immigrant named Levi Strauss. He sailed to San Francisco in 1852 with a batch of denim canvas. Strauss hoped to sell the fabric for tenting, but noticed that the men needed pants that would hold up in the rugged gold-mining hills of California.
