Foreigners are making the most of Napoleon too. The Austrians produce huge red, green and gold candles in the form of the imperial eagle. The Spanish are forging Napoleon's "battle sword" at Toledo-for sale in France, since he was never very popular in Spain. The British fabricate "Napoleon soap," with a color reproduction inside of David's famous painting of the Emperor on a horse. The soap shrinks, of course, but the portrait of Napoleon stays. "Imagine being able to wash your hands with Napoleon," exults Xavier Moreschi, the chief Corsican commercializer of the bicentennial...

Couturier Yves Saint Laurent ordered a gold plated copper cast made of Model Veruschka's bosom, slipped it over a mannequin, and sent her down the runway; it was one way to top off a skirt. Courreges had a model roar up to the footlights in a minicar with a Plexiglas dome, and presented another wearing pingpong balls pasted on her oversized sunglasses. Cecil Beaton sketched.

But then Chanel has been...
