Marriage? Certainly not, said little Mick Jogger of the Rolling Stones, while Bianca just stood there in her see-through and smiled. Yes, St. Laurent's St. Tropez boutique was making a dress for Bianca, and yes, they were both staying up in the Hotel Byblos there, and yes, "Bianca and I have been together for several weeks. But I have no plans to marry." Still, 21-year-old Bianca Perez Morena de Macias of Nicaragua went on smiling, and Mick added cryptically: "I'm not the sort of bloke who would make a big fuss of announcing...

Courreges has dropped couture and is concentrating on boutiques; Cardin, already into men's wear, is now designing plumbing and chocolate boxes and playing with his own theater. St. Laurent is creating men's clothes-and sheets and towels too. In fact, Yves will soon be owned frock, shirt and shoulders by Squibb Beech-Nut, Inc.-and may well be designing gum wrappers in a few years...
