...knee, shapes kept narrow, colors vivid. Though Designer Capucci offered something called "the Peking Look," and Dior presented a wide-armhole, blousy sleeve, hardly anything was really brand-new. There we're flowers on everything-Balmain cinched the waist of an evening gown with green satin leaves. Saint-Laurent flung lilies of the valley onto everything from formals to hats. The results, while not revolutionary, were some of the handsomest clothes in years...

"She has the most fantastic figure since Venus de Milo - absolutely perfect," recalled one disarmed Hollywood gent who retains fond memories of French Actress Agnes Laurent, 26, although she once bopped him. Not so for Cinema Scion Arthur Loew Jr., 35, who was rushed to the emergency room of the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital to have nine stitches taken in his profile after the quick-firing actress slung a snifter of brandy at him during...
