Light art is also showing up in the world of discotheques and happenings, wherever the emphasis is on being with it in the here and now. Manhattan's Jackie Cassen, 28, and Rudi Stern, 30, designed the environmental light projections for Timothy Leary's psychedevotional Death of the Mind.

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...
...really shade: face-size visors reminiscent of the welder's mask or bookkeeper's eye-shield. They were launched 18 months ago by Coty Award-winning Milliner Halston, who was inspired by the green eyeshield worn by his elderly seamstress.
