...almost impossible to translate, but trousser means to hitch up a skirt, a shirt or whatever. Colinot, a 14th century peasant boy, does just that to the ladies. After finishing Colinot in Auvergne a few weeks ago, B.B., 38, is now cruising around Corsica with her boy friend Laurent Vergez, 28. Later on, she says, she intends to find herself a farm-unless someone talks her out of early retirement...
...always, hemline lengths "don't really matter" any more to the likes of Yves St. Laurent; as always, buyers and fashion writers looked first to the calf. The results were generally high-level (just below the knee), though midi-scarred U.S. buyers noted nervously that St. Laurent, Marc Bohan and others insisted on prolonging the scene in some of their models all the way down to mid-calf level. Ungaro even dipped to just-above-ankle, granny-style length for streetwear, to be worn over high-heeled boots. Still, there was much to applaud (if not to afford): daytime...
Georgette Gowns. The loudest applause, joined by Actress Catherine Deneuve and Bianca Jagger, wife of Rock Star Mick, went to St. Laurent, who acknowledged it from somewhere in Outer Egoland: since "everyone was copying me," said the master, "I decided to copy myself."

One such response was pitched to a tone of ambiguity-- "very interesting" or "innovative" or "mmm..." --couched in a campy tone that denied any involvement with the art. It belonged uniformly to the slickers, with money, dressed in low-toned chic, St. Laurent Vietnamese army jackets, cool. You know the type--you saw them at the cocktail party in Diary of a Mad Housewife. Others, after following the green light to a dead end, acted rather miffed and wanted their money back--the squares as yet uneducated in the hows and whys of this...
Judging by the size of the crowds they attracted, the two biggest stars to emerge from last week's shows were Chloe Designer Karl Lagerfeld and Japanese Designer Kenzo Takada. People literally climbed into the windows of the Laurent restaurant on the Champs-Elysees to peek at Lagerfeld's collection, which emphasizes the elegant and the demure. His soft shirts with high, pointed collars peek out from under dresses and loose turtleneck sweaters. Tweedy vests and jackets were another variation. Lagerfeld also introduced an even more elaborate version of the layered look, with shirts worn one atop...
