...current gilt trip, according to Mirabella, began in the spring of 1980 with French Designer Yves Saint Laurent's ready-to-wear collection. His show included a gold leather skirt and a gold-threaded scarf. The look quickly followed the path of least resistance to Saint Tropez, where gold-brocaded jogging shorts, silver bikinis and gold jackets over denim skirts became as common last summer, says one Saint Tropez shopkeeper, "as button-down shirts on Wall Street...

Twenty minutes by air from Saba, St. Barts is administered as part of a French département-and a swinging outpost of Southern France. Often likened to the Saint-Tropez of 20 years ago, the 8-sq.-mi. island boasts 36 restaurants, French bakeries, discos, wind surfing, sailing, a harbor full of yachts, elegant boutiques and enough local eccentrics to fill a Truffaut film. However, St. Barts-named by Columbus for his brother Bartolomeo-is more than a transplanted French beach resort. It is a beautiful, pastoral island, whose inhabitants-95% of the population of 2,800 are white...

...over a table that rarely has fewer than 14 or 16 guests around it. Over plates of polenta (cornmeal porridge), sausage and pork in a thick gravy, washed down with Lambrusco, the talk moves from local politics to musical gossip: the burglary of Herbert von Karajan's Saint-Tropez villa, or the scheduling problems caused by the love affair of two internationally known singers...

Britain's Prince Charles practiced it in the chilly waters off the Isle of Wight. Marlon Brando mastered it between takes of a film. A few plucky vacationers have even used it to island-hop among the Bahamas. From St. Louis to Saint-Tropez, people who used to ride sailboats or surfboards-or would not be caught on either -are trying something that combines the best of both: windsurfing, a fast-growing sport that makes the practitioner a part of his boat as he holds the sail, and the wind, in his hands...
