...returned in '62, but by then the station had both congealed and softened; the format was strangling the jock's freedom to go nuts. As Wibbage turned to cabbage, other DJs at smaller stations caught kids' attentive ears. At WCAM in Camden, across the Delaware River from Philly, Kal Rudman spun the widest playlist in the tri-state area and gave records away. (I still have a 45 that came in the mail from Kal: "Guybo" by Eddie Cochran's band, the Kelly Four...
...blossomed into big business, due in large part to the widespread acceptance of more casual dress, both in the office and for evenings out.

Attitudes like that bode well for the future of the House That Versace Built...
...ever present slipdress is still among us. Only this year it's short and asymmetrical: one-sleeved is good; bias cut is even better. "All ages with good legs will wear miniskirts," says Bloomingdale's fashion guru Kal Ruttenstein. And Nicole Fischelis, fashion director for Saks Fifth Avenue, says the softer, swishier look is best topped with a tailored jacket, to break up the fluidity of the silhouette. Designers like Jill Stuart prefer a sweater. "A jacket is too hard for this collection," Stuart says. And while the dresses are soft, they're not always simple. A Chinese influence runs...
