While fashion for most of the decade has been dominated by the spare chic of designers like Prada and Jil Sander, this season it finds itself in the midst of a full-scale romance revival, and women seem to be smitten. Minimalist Marc Jacobs is dabbling in pink and pleats. Tocca, a label specializing in girlish party dresses that began with a collection of 11 pieces in 1994, has evolved into a multimillion-dollar business. Jewelry is having a renaissance.

But then, only good girls spend their time in libraries...
...trashy attempt to capitalize on his so-called inside knowledge of the Clintons and the seedy side of presidential campaigning. But you have dignified this trash with your outrageous comparisons ("real life, 1992" vs. "reel life, 1998") and brutal attempts to make the character of the fictitious presidential candidate seem to be a clone of Bill Clinton. Where is your responsibility as journalists? Have you no shame? ROSALIE ZWAIN Rancho Mirage, Calif...
