...cheer round the world. The results, wrote Gloria Emerson in the New York Times, "seem to be dresses for women who can't stop rereading old love letters." In the end, what Paris did have to say was said best in two outstanding collections: those of Yves St. Laurent and Andre Courreges...
...euphemism was Lee Bouvier, otherwise Princess Lee Radziwill, 34, younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, making her professional acting debut at Chicago's Ivanhoe Theater in a four-week run of The Philadelphia Story. Alackaday. Neither g-u-t-s nor the services of Seamster Yves St. Laurent and a personal barber (Kenneth) could placate the picadors from the drama desk, who saw only a "lovely looking amateur, an enthusiastic beginner" who "laid a golden egg."

Still, the men in the crowd at the Moulin Rouge party seemed more fascinated by the barely clad dancers onstage than they...
Lalanne's prices are equally fantastic: $10,000 for the sheep or the housefly, $25,000 for the rhino. Among the happy few who have chosen to afford them: Designer Yves St. Laurent, who bought a rhino, and French Premier Georges Pompidou, who bought a pair of china ostriches whose beaks hold a metal board serving as a bar. And why does Lalanne spend his time creating such extravagant fancies? His answer is as good as any likely to be heard this spring: "For the most elementary reason-it amuses...
