...come off to reveal deep V necklines in close-fitting, floor-length gowns with long sleeves. For lady football fans, there are Geoffrey Beene"touchdown" dresses - long, sequined sacks in purple with yellow shoulder patches or arm stripes and big numerals on the front, just like overextended football jerseys. Rudi Gernreich is pushing a combination of what he calls the "Renaissance page quality" and the astronaut look, mixing his capes with Layne Nielsen's visored helmets, or putting together a long corduroy coachman's coat with vest, pants and satin ascot shirt ("It's a combination...
...controversy about skirt lengths as long as they're twelve inches above the knee," wags Gernreich. Actually, he will ship them five inches longer than that-which is a good idea, since a skirt much shorter is no skirt at all.

He wasn't kidding...
...Mainbocher, 75, born Main Rousseau Bocher in Chicago-and his dresses can be seen on "CeeZee" Guest and "Babs" Paley. But the wave of the future really lies with the younger designers who produce ready-to-wear. To Marc Bohan of Christian Dior in Paris, California's puckish Rudi Gernreich, 44, is the standout. No designer for conformists, he will go all out to make his point, reaped a whirlwind of publicity in 1964 with his topless bathing suits. He only sold 3,000, but everyone has paid attention to him ever since, last year for his "cutout" fashions...
