When The Thomas Crown Affair first appeared in 1968, its most memorable scene was a sexually charged chess game between Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Audiences will feel rooked by the remake--it lacks the original's kitschy cool--but they'll surely remember "the Dress": a black peekaboo number worn by Rene Russo that is snug as a body stocking and virtually transparent. Like the diaphanous gown Marilyn Monroe donned for J.F.K.'s birthday, Russo's outfit is a sheer delight. "The costume designer just brought it in one day, folded up to the size of a handkerchief," recalls...

...although none of the attendees of the fall couture shows were prepared to say the outfits were ridiculous--as usual--some were prepared to say the women were nearly naked. Nipples were one of the biggest accessories, and definitely the least expensive. The mad lads from Britain--Alexander McQueen for Givenchy, far left, and John Galliano for Christian Dior, middle left--were up to their usual high jinks, but they were usurped in wackiness by even newer kids with scissors--Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, middle right. The Dutch duo, whose label is known as Viktor & Rolf, got to thinking...
