...snowy-haired Maria Bogner, 47, stunning wife of former German Olympic Ski Star Willy Bogner. In 1950, after Bogner's release as a prisoner of war (he had been an SS lieutenant), Willy and Maria bought a small factory just south of Munich, started making and selling sportswear. One day a salesman arrived with a bolt of a Swiss-patented kink-nylon and wool-yarn fabric called Helanca. It stretched up, down and sideways, then sprang miraculously back into shape. Maria ordered some and set about turning it into ski pants. Still svelte, she created a minor sensation wherever...

As fast as industry is coming into Florida, it still is not coming fast enough to supply the new jobs...
Wellborn Babes. Dorian scouts the world for new talent, has helped make the Parisian model market so cosmopolitan that perhaps not even De Gaulle himself could turn back the clock. Among the season's best: trim and Finnish Brigitte Juslin, who is tops in sportswear; Switzerland's dark, blue-eyed Carla Marlier; Germany's Nico Ozack ("a magnificent Renoir body-in the nude she doesn't look like a model at all"); Jasmine, ex-shepherdess from Algeria, who gained her poise carrying water jugs on her head. The favorite in the February Harper's Bazaar...
