...February," explains Penelope, "and he asked me to do some test shots." The result is a striking 14-page spread of pictures by Photographer Avedon in the current Vogue, which exposes Penelope's charms in-among other outfits-a partially unbuttoned pants suit, a hip-revealing dress by Rudi Gernreich and thigh-high fun furs. But no matter what the rig, Penelope animates them all with her special gamine charm and kooky doll features...

...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. And, to be on the safe side, Rudi recommends double skirts-a longer underskirt for ordinary streetwear, which can be slipped off in more casual surroundings, leaving the mini-mini...
