...fact, chains have been unobtrusively hanging around for years. Chanel, for instance, has long fashioned rope necklaces out of tiny links, which she also uses stitched to the inside hem of suit jackets to add weight. Today's big chain reaction began in 1966, when Yves St. Laurent designed a belt made out of bold brass circles that quickly became a boutique bestseller. Now St. Laurent's latest belts are twice as wide, and there is hardly a jewelry designer who is not now clanking out chains...
...come when she appeared in last week's Academy Awards show in Arnold Scaasi's gown with a V neck cut extraordinarily low, wide and handsome. Vogue readers have already been treated to a full-page photo of Young Model Penelope Tree wearing Yves St. Laurent's sheer organza see-through blouse with nothing underneath it. "It's the hottest thing we've had for years," says Bernard Goodman, vice president of Sport-whirl, which has sold 80,000 of its Jeanne Campbell-designed see-through blouses so far this year...

"I feel like the Laughing Cavalier," Margot said, and, Frans Hals notwithstanding, she looked something like him, too, as she happily showed off her Yves St. Laurent jet-black velvet pants suit to a gaggle of photographers and admirers at the opening of Artist Keith Lancey's watercolor exhibit at London's Mayfair Hotel.

...feathers any more. Now it's the Gaucho look-or at least it is for Rudolf Nureyev, 30. Not that Rudi is all that wild about horses. It's just that he has this gas about things South American; so naturally that led to an Yves St. Laurent Argentine pony-skin jacket to set off a dashing pair of matching boots by Paris' Roger Vivier. Gaucho Rudi wears the getup whenever the mood strikes him, as with Dame Margot Fonteyn and Princess Margaret at a Knightsbridge mansion, where the Princess helped kick off a fund-raising campaign...
Fading Fear. In Cardin's wake, other couturiers have made the big decision to venture into men's fashions. Yves St. Laurent announced last week that he will shortly open a men's boutique in Paris; André Courrèges is also planning a line of men's clothes. To go with wives' "Lilly" summer shifts, Palm Beach Designer Lilly Pulitzer is offering a new collection of "Men's Stuff" that includes flamboyantly printed "P.J.s" (Pulitzer Jeans) and Cuban-style quayabera shirts, worn with the squared-off tails outside. Valentino, who is Jackie...
