...that she had indeed bought a Givenchy dress, U.S. couturiers paled, saw visions of her shopping at foreign salons while in Paris this week, warned that Manhattan's Seventh Avenue might turn into a depressed area. As the hatbox-sized hullabaloo raged, an Italian designer kicked up another fuss by unchivalrously knocking Jackie's knees.
