...diverse selection of leather jackets covers a wider price range. For the next "Leather and Lace" or "Boogie Nights" theme party, one can find cheap (around $30 to 40) vinyl-looking jackets to pair with tight rayon shirts. Bomber jackets and motorcycle styles hover in the middle price range, selling for approximately $100. `Black and Blues' rescues the more fashion-conscious client with two chic coats from Kenneth Cole's 'Reaction' line, $255 and $275 respectively. But leather isn't just for jackets anymore--a wild leopard-print zipfront leather dress hanging behind the cash register is quick to catch...
Flower patterns abound on Cornell's dresses and linens alike. This spring's best-selling dress is pale violet with a creamy white magnolia bloom and green stemmed print. Long, loose, and rayon with small horizontal pleats across the chest, it sells for $69. Most dresses share a similar style, cut generously to be what Shull describes as "comfortable and functional."

In 1990 Congress tried to redress this giveaway by passing the Tongass Timber Reform Act, which forced...

The thin material can be consumed by fire in less than three seconds. Do you own one? The skirts have a layer of sheer chiffon over a gauze underskirt with an elastic or drawstring waistband. Consumers are urged to stop wearing such garments immediately and return them to the store for a refund. Questions should be addressed to the toll-free hotline set up by the CPSC...
Denim is hardly the first Cinderella to be invited to fashion's gaudy ball. Coco Chanel, always well ahead of the game, made jersey into a chic material in the '20s. In the '30s gingham was popular with American designers, and it's turning up again this year. Today rayon is undergoing a renaissance, from something that made up Harry Truman's sport shirts to the fabric of favor for mimicking silk among most top-of-the-line designers...
