...topped off with a cape; and much of it came together in the drawing rooms of Paris and Rome couturiers. The soft-goods departments in stores from Tokyo to Beirut are beginning to look less like hospital wards than fashion salons, with towels by Pierre Cardin, sheets by Saint Laurent and table linen by Finland's Marimekko...
