Before departing for his ski chalet at St. Moritz last week, the Shah of Iran conferred a medal, the first-class Taj, or crown, on his finance minister Jamshid Amuzegar. The dapper, Cornell-trained Amuzegar had led the six oil-producing nations of the Persian Gulf-Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar-in wresting an enormous increase in payments from 23 international oil companies, 20 of them American.

With the war's end, he settled in Switzerland, living the good life on the slopes. It was at St. Moritz that a roving Harper's Bazaar photographer encouraged his sartorial talent by asking to photograph some self-designed stretch ski pants that Pucci was wearing. Lord & Taylor saw the glossies and asked if they could manufacture the pants. The rest is hysteria. In the years that followed, Pucci became...
