Women were supposed to stride around in stiletto heels, fishnet stockings and microminis -- some of which Vogue featured in colorful versions of rubber and polyvinyl chloride. The same style dominated the spring collections shown in Paris and Milan last month. There were front-slit short skirts from Karl Lagerfeld, gold-mesh biker shorts from Gianfranco Ferre and rhinestone-studded hot pants from the team of Dolce & Gabbana, who acknowledged that their D&G line had been inspired by Jodie Foster's preteen streetwalker in Taxi Driver.
