...dandyism," proclaims British Designer Hardy Amies. Certainly the clothes shown by Amies and five other leading menswear designers last week at a fashion think tank in Manhattan's Plaza Hotel were anything but ordinary. Amies himself, for example, experimented with a boldly checked, double-breasted gangster suit and ruffled shirt-a combination too much even for him. "Rather awful," he blurted. "I hope it does not look idiotic." Paris Designer Pierre Cardin's vision of future male fashion included black leather pants with a matching leather shirt, laced up the front. Roman Tailor Angelo Litrico, who has made...

...Deal, by G. William Marshall (511 pages; Bartholomew House; $6.95) is notable, by contrast, for its more traditional approach. No new-fangled gadgets here; just the plain, old-fashioned dildo.

No one who has read the Paris Manuscripts could deny...

When he succeeded Emerson Foote as chairman of McCann-Erickson, the nation's second biggest agency (after J. Walter Thompson), last fall, Chairman Paul Foley, 51, lamented that "when market research was the fashion, creativity was pushed aside." He promised a new thrust by reminding his staff that "I've always been a copywriter." So have many of his counterparts at rival agencies. Last month Young & Rubicam (1967 billings: nearly $400 million) put former Creative Director Stephen Frankfurt, 36, in charge...
