He manages to meld Bruce's sleazy world of one-night stands, his marital hopes and horrors, his helpless, raging entanglement in the courts, and even his vaulting fantasies into a fluid continuum up, down and around the multilevel stage.

Bill Blass settles for the double hemline for daywear and pulls out all stops at night with a series of multilevel chiffon dresses, plus some crepes with hems that look more like jack-o'-lanterns' teeth. Giorgio di Sant'Angelo uses raw, unfinished leather in midi skirts that end up ragged, jagged, and almost Neanderthal in effect. Mollie Parnis lets her hems hang any old way, and does most...
