...designers these days trend more to mass-market ready-to-wears, known as prét à porter-and to more pants, more boots, more chains, more turtlenecks and, of course, more transparency. For his fall collection, André Courrèges' main excitement was a white, rib-knit jump suit, with a tunic for daytime wear and a sequined pants outfit with see-through top for after dark. Not to be outdone, Yves St. Laurent turned out an even more daring evening gown, then produced for everyday a series of wide-cut pants suits just possibly ugly enough...
...pursues him through most of the movie, doing calculatedly kooky things to attract his attention, such as smashing a store window to steal an enormous tuba which she totes around, and breaking a rib so that he can prescribe bed rest-in his bed.

Who is really at fault here? In modern times, the church has been variously defined as Christ and His Body or, in more general terms, as mankind (which includes womankind) itself.
