BRIDGE IS NOT HIP Nor is gin rummy. Canasta? Disasta! So why did a huge cast of big-name designers, including Diane von Furstenberg, Collette Dinnigan and David Rockwell, plus some celebrities agree to design a dowdy old playing card? First, one of the hottest trends in design right now is crossing over--working in a discipline other than one's specialty. Second, the money raised from the cards, which go on sale this month at MAC cosmetics stores, will benefit the MAC AIDS Fund. And third, the cards all feature naked people.
