Georgette Gowns. The loudest applause, joined by Actress Catherine Deneuve and Bianca Jagger, wife of Rock Star Mick, went to St. Laurent, who acknowledged it from somewhere in Outer Egoland: since "everyone was copying me," said the master, "I decided to copy myself." Still, the familiar long cardigans (including one bejeweled evening affair costing $3,000), belted jackets and floppy pants, and YSL trench coats-all further elongated by appearing over 4-in. heels-never looked better.

The Bulletin's man, at 5 feet 9 1/2 inches, had the sensation of being significantly taller than Schmitt; thought at the time that Schmitt's below-average height undoubtedly came in handy in space capsules; and on the strength of this can confidently report that when it comes to height, NASA...
