...symphony in mesh Vs, by Valentino. On the outside, looking In, there is Gucci's leather-bound shirtwaist dress, interwoven with an all-over pattern of the letter G-with matching luggage, no less. In scarves, conspicuous consumers can go the whole hog with the full names of Rudi Gernreich ($12), Donald Brooks ($22), or Geoffrey Beene ($28), or compromise-as Chester Weinberg did-with a silk strip spelling the first and more esthetic half of his name ($25). At the extremities, there are sailor berets with Adolfo's name on the band ($65), Cardin...
...your own thing." The situation has traditional designers up tight. Old standard setters, like Balenciaga, have retired. Others, like Saint Laurent, reach for youth by focusing increasingly on less expensive ready-to-wear clothes. At 46, fatigued by the efforts that have kept him far ahead of other designers, Rudi Gernreich last week announced that he was taking a year off in order to refresh himself.

Few expected him to live; indeed, his life hung in the balance for days. Now, after two delicate brain operations, Rudi is out of danger and recuperating "somewhere in Italy," according to an illustrated spread in West Germany's Stern magazine. Stern's report shows that Rudi has progressed to the point where he can knock out a few croquet games each day, bat a pingpong...
Rudolf Nureyev may call himself a stateless person since his defection from Russia seven years ago, but that didn't stop Uncle Sam from clamping a claim on him. According to the Internal Revenue Service, the practically peerless dancer owes $30,642.70 in back taxes for 1963. Rudi says he used his New York City bank account to deposit funds from all over the world, not necessarily money earned in the U.S. The taxmen haven't been much impressed, so Rudi is trying a new step. He says IRS overcharged him in social security deductions. And he wants...
