...lakeshore. Next to it, a dress from the House of Cybes, all shifting shades of blue with cascades of twinkling pearls, looks as if the stars had begun to shine in the afternoon sky. The roseate elegance of another dress showered with embroidered petals could seem, to the mannequin at the door, either an invitation or a challenge. To anyone looking in from outside, the dress draws the eye instantly and infuses the whole scene with its own tones of luxuriant nostalgia, the lasting afterglow of a perpetual sunset...
...standard photo session) fashion supermodel. It seems like a retake of some 35 years ago, when her mother, Grace Kelly, was a model before becoming a movie star. She projected a serene, society-page sexiness. Stephanie has a contem- porary appeal: athletic, funky, challenging. She has been a mannequin only a few months, but she is on the cusp of signing a hefty contract with the Italian designer Enrico Coveri (exact figures to be publicized only when the ink is dry).

When George Carillo arrived at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose one steamy July day in 1982, he seemed more a mannequin than a man.

Among the items: a captain's desk with female gargoyles and a bewigged mannequin bearing a plaque THE QUEEN IS NOT GRANTING AUDIENCES TODAY. The sign is a gift from her daughter Lisa, a second-year law student at Yale. Working 14-hour days leaves Allred little time with her husband William, 53, an aircraft-parts dealer. The two married in 1968. William Allred...
...models breezing down Giorgio Armani's glass-topped runway were having too much fun to put on the mannequin's usual mask of boredom. It was a celestial fashion parade: zephyr-light chiffon shorts worn with a billowing shirt and slightly askew man's tie; immaculately tailored jackets with saucy miniskirts; poolside playsuits that looked as if they might evaporate at any moment. The international crowd of buyers and press applauded throughout the show, the highlight of last week's spring collections in Milan, and at the end stood to cheer the creator of all these...
