...style; Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren settled for Apelike wigs. Alba of Rome's Alba & Francesca (who fittingly names the cut "dégradé") has left Queen Anne Marie of Greece a shaggy exile, and last week even Ingrid Bergman went Ape at the hands of Giorgio of the Via Borgognona...
...installation of the doors. Art Critic Mario Salmi, vice president of the government's Superior Council of Fine Arts, promptly and publicly denounced Greco's work. "It is like inserting a modern canto into The Divine Comedy," he complained, and resigned his post. Another leading antiquarian, Giorgio Bassani, described the doors as "outrageous, awkward, pseudo modern." Among the doors' defenders was Orvieto's bishop, Monsignor Virginio Dondeo, who contended that "each century should make its contribution to the cathedral...
...with necklines that do not stop till they hit the waist. Bill Blass settles for the double hemline for daywear and pulls out all stops at night with a series of multilevel chiffon dresses, plus some crepes with hems that look more like jack-o'-lanterns' teeth.

Che brutta figura...

In 1966, after a strike, he got his first contract when Schenley Industries capitulated because it had a nationally known name at stake. Later that year he won the right to represent workers at the mammoth Di Giorgio ranch in an election monitored by the American Arbitration Association. Both Di Giorgio and Schenley have since sold their table-grape holdings, however, and Chavez's only contracts now are with wine producers: Gallo, Christian Brothers, Masson, Almaden, Franzia Brothers and Novitiate...
