At the rich and influential house of Chanel, designer Karl Lagerfeld talks of a "new tendency for beauty to combat ugliness." New York designer Isaac Mizrahi observes: "People are in a kind of sobering position. In the '80s it was so incredibly over the top. Now it's about how can we express ourselves and still maintain a certain amount of dignity." Michael Kors, who presented a sleek, sophisticated collection in New York City last week, expresses the fashion industry's new sensitivity...

Jean-Paul Gaultier and Karl Lagerfeld, French fans of tights, are emphasizing the leg. So is the hot young American designer, Isaac Mizrahi, who dismisses the '80s as a time of "boring, rote, dress-for-success looks with stock-tie blouses, flannel jackets and henny-looking long, drab skirts...
