...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."

A man of patrician and benevolent manner who was often referred to as "Uncle Louis" by his countrymen, St. Laurent reluctantly left a successful Quebec law practice in 1941 to become Minister of Justice in the wartime Liberal government of Mackenzie King. As his country's second French-Canadian Prime Minister, St. Laurent oversaw a period of unprecedented growth and expansion. Canada's gross national product -sparked by American investment-nearly doubled, Newfoundland became...
...been planted in everybody's brain. 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...
