The master put his hostesses in white stretch pants under taupe chiffon or gold lamé topped by an ermine poncho. Sauciest fillip was a see-through chiffon muumuu worn over a flesh-colored skintight jump suit. And Pierre Cardin exposed his pound of flesh through circular cutouts scattered at strategic points on his dresses -here at the collarbone, there smack dab over the navel. He also wolfishly evoked Little Red Riding Hood, with dozens of furry capped capes...
