...seemed a scene from a latter-day Dutch master painting -at least that's what Dame Margot Fonteyn said it was. "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. Her outfit all but stole the show from the paintings, which was O.K. with the artist because she'll wear those...
...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.

Valentino, who is Jackie...
...high-fashion designers and shops want to climb aboard. Cardin has proclaimed: "Brown has class; it lends an air of distinction." Yves St. Laurent's bestsellers have turned out to be a brown tweed suit with cape and brown velvet evening ensembles. "Brown is such a beautiful color for winter," says French Vogue Editor Francoise de Langlade de La Renta. "So warm, so wonderful against a tanned skin." In Rome, after her trip to Cambodia and Thailand, Jacqueline Kennedy promptly placed an order with her favorite Italian designer, Valentino. Her choice: a wool crepe Mao shirt and matching skirt...
Among Alexander's similarly sized harvest, the buyers are especially proud of a St. Laurent daytime dress of cream-beige crepe with a subdued use of beads. It is, says one, "the Ford of our collection"-something everyone will want. Also interesting: a Patou white worsted dress that is close to the body, with a flared skirt and four rows of horizontal stitching; it is considered the best trend indicator. "It's the princess line all over again," says a buyer. Like Ohrbach's, Alexander's was active in the Italian mar ket too. It will...
