After years of beguiling women into austerely tailored pantsuits, now, in this cool age of less is more and casual is all, the world's most influential couturier has stopped the parade with a collection of high-camp peasant fashions that are impractical, fantastical and egotistical.

His rival is Prince Louis Napoleon, 62, a World War II Resistance hero who is not only a Bonaparte, but is also descended from France's royal line. A wealthy businessman, he is married...
Well-rounded clavicles are on display in everything from evening gowns to T shirts. Neck and shoulder in popularity this season are strapless "maillot" (one-piece) bathing suits, sundresses and jumpsuits. Women cannot buy the styles fast enough. Manhattan's Henri Bendel already has its daytime strapless line on second and third reorder. Halston has sold 380 strapless sarongs (price range: $600 to $1,000).
