...died unexpectedly last spring at 58, joined Bloomingdale's in 1967, one of her first moves was to introduce the designer shop?an enclave where the works of only one designer would be shown. The first such shop, opened in 1968, was for Michel and Chantal Faure of St.-Tropez, then barely known even in France. Bloomingdale's sold hundreds of maxicoats under their MicMac label. The Faures now have 500 other clients, among them some of Bloomingdale's biggest competitors: Saks, Bonwit Teller and Lord & Taylor...
...written to hold boredom temporarily at bay but so trivial that if left behind at O'Hare Airport, one would be less disturbed than if one had misplaced a book of matches. The author's fancy here is that an eccentric inventor, working in secrecy at St.-Tropez, is on the point of perfecting a solar-powered car. The Arabs are out to stop him before he sells his process to General Motors, thus weaning the West away from its petroleum habit. When all seems lost, one of the bad Arabs reveals himself to be a good Arab...
...Giscard's reputation much. France has a long tradition of shrugging off sexual improprieties with an attitude of amused tolerance.

Which, presumably, includes Schneider. "Working...
Sunbathing, dancing and otherwise whiling away the last days of summer, perennial Sex Kitten Brigitte Bardot has holed up in her ten-room house, La Madrague, in St.-Tropez for the past four months. She has company-her 60-year-old mother Anne-Marie and current Boy Friend Laurent Vergez, 29 -and some more old (and young) chums will doubtless drop by when she celebrates her 40th birthday this week. As photographers who have caught her cooling off in the Mediterranean recently can attest, BB is still reasonably buoyant for a woman entering her fifth decade...
