Cristina Ferrare, De Lorean's fashion-model wife, who seemed to wear a different designer outfit on each of the trial's 62 days, ran to the phone to call 13-year-old Zachary De Lorean.

...signature attached to the hind portion of a pair of denims is one way to stand out a little bit, but moniker flash may also be passing away. The Gloria Vanderbilt people, for example, admit guardedly that there has been a sales plunge in their basic jeans model. But as much money as they pulled down for a few seasons, designer jeans were always a joke, just a fussy vamp-usually snug around the butt and thighs-on a basic, utilitarian garment.
