Star of the shows in both cities was Emilio Pucci, the prince of pants. With print patterns more brilliant than ever, he served up palazzo pajamas, long silk dresses in floral motifs. Princess Irene Galitzine, whose clients include Charlotte Ford Niarchos, showed sarongs and bras for sleeping, a long transparent raincoat and-along with practically everybody else-yards of pants. Much-applauded was her "Margit," a baggy chiffon nightgown-pajama with a low, frilly neck...
