...Ozbek at a party and considered him such a comer that he has never bothered to see a collection. Unlike Kelly, who has found himself without enough money to ride the Metro, Ozbek receives both salary and commission from Gulf. For a young designer, it seems like a snug setup, but Ozbek keeps things modest. His offices overlook a cranny-like courtyard in Mayfair, his staff numbers seven, and his fashion shows can be like small parties in a studio, with a couple of models strolling out from behind curtains to the recorded strains of music from Lawrence of Arabia...
Come to Laurenland, the images whisper, where fantasy and finery go together like hand in well-stitched glove. Watch polo matches in Palm Beach, trim in a crested blazer and trousers of crisp linen. Sip cognac by the fireplace of a Sun Valley, chalet, snug under a brightly colored Navajo blanket and clad in a Nordic apres-ski sweater and wool twill slacks.

So, snug within the security perimeter of her hotel, Craxi got a close look at some of the world's most beautiful clothes at a presentation narrated by the designer himself...

At King Saud University, female students still attend classes on a separate campus and listen to lectures from male professors over closed-circuit TV. But beneath their veiled garments, many are outfitted in tight skirts, spike heels and snug-fitting tops and resemble nothing so much as Brooke Shields look- alikes. The coeds are becoming more aggressive at the dating game. They bring photos of their brothers and cousins to school to exchange with their classmates and provide telephone numbers when interest is shown...
