...wear lines for Chanel in Paris. For Fendi in Rome he does furs and some couture, as well as swank ready-to-wear. And right now his first collection under his own name is making its debut all over the world. At prices ranging from $400 for a silk blouse to $4,000 for a nifty evening number that shifts along a woman's body like a Slinky, it is moving very smartly, thanks. "The only problem is we can't get the clothes fast enough," claims Bloomingdale's Vice President Kal Ruttenstein...
...Brittany, christened Grands Champs (Large Fields). Oh, yes, and there is the apartment in Monaco. The Monaco digs are hypermodern, done predominantly in the bright style of the innovative designers known as the Memphis group. The setting, like Lagerfeld's fashion, is both nervy and funny: a silk-cushioned "conversation pit" shaped like a boxing ring, an etagere that looks like a Lego construct built by an LSD casualty.

Chicago Artist Luis Jimenez's pastel study for his sculpture The American Dream shows a car, as Gerald Silk describes it in the museum publication, "ravishing a voluptuous nude female; breasts rhyme visually with hubcaps and headlights, hair with fenders, belly and buttocks with hood and trunk." Edward Kienholz's sculpture Back Seat Dodge '38 shows a truncated car, its front seat removed. In the back, a chicken...
...Kranhold, an alternate delegate from Danville, Calif, said, "It amazes me that people would think this is not a cross section of the American public." She waved an encompassing arm at the room full of overwhelmingly white, conservative, married women whose greatest mark of diversity was whether they wore silk or synthetic. They were not all rich, but they were, certainly, women who could afford a choice of life's options without worrying about child care or job training. Even so, the message that they delivered from the Dallas showcase in this, the year of women in politics...
