Dior's Marc Bohan is every bit as enraptured with the languorous look. Bohan softened his necklines with bows and scarf ties; and his hiplines had a series of stitched pleats that flattened first, then flared out. Deep colors glow like Tiffany stained glass; fabrics are light, jerseys, crepes and silk velvets. And again and again, capes -hooded in suede, lined in fur, long, loose, swinging...
