She clutches a frumpy purse in one hand and him in the other; her skirt hitches up over her knees.

...opened his own house in 1968. His clothes are comfortable and uncluttered. Seemingly influenced early in his career by Yves St. Laurent-though he denies it -three-time Coty Winner Klein has the French master's pipeline to the female fancy.

For variety, swap the pants of this fresh crisp outfit for Calvin Klein's buff poplin elastic-waist fly-front trouser skirt ($63). For work or casual lunches, either variation of the ensemble can be worn with Klein's buff T shirt, which is cotton knit, with a crew neck and long sleeves ($11.50), or Lauren's tan knit T shirt with roll sleeves and crew neck ($18). When...
...cocktail parties, consider Calvin Klein's salmon crepe-de-chine long-sleeved blouse with banded collar, and his separate matching narrow-front wrap skirt (both for $232). Finally, for that most glamorous evening, the jewel of the wardrobe: Halston's peach silk crepe-de-chine evening jumpsuit, bare back, with halter top, bias cowl neck and bias self-sash at waist...
