Thanks to Seward's '70s-inspired vision and the increasing demand for dazzling red carpet-bound eveningwear, the Azzaro look?silk jersey columns with dramatic crystal beading, kind of a Parisian Halston?has made a great comeback, turning up on the likes of Nicole Kidman, Diane Lane and Naomi Watts. Come 2005, Seward plans to expand beyond the red carpet, introducing swimwear in addition to cashmere separates and costume jewelry. Perfect for a weekend in Cannes...
DIED. ELEANOR LAMBERT, 100, a.k.a. the Empress of Seventh Avenue, who as a publicist championed American fashion designers such as Bill Blass and Halston; in New York City. In the early 1940s, when Paris was deemed the industry's sole center, she organized press previews in New York, a precursor to Fashion Week; established the International Best-Dressed List; and nudged reluctant magazine editors to cover American designers.
