IN VOGUE: LEONARD COHEN 1969

Leonard Cohen, over thirty, is a mind-opener for the young. Elusive, driven, with a powerfully soft voice and a trapper's walk, he has written songs, poems, and two novels, The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers - all with the cadence of '"invisible songs."'

A Canadian, Cohen lives in transit over earth, brown eyes wary, nostrils on guard, uniformed in this withered leather jacket in the right pocket of which he still fumbles for the Moroccan squirrel that once lived there."...

BETTY CATROUX IN SAINT LAURENT - 60'S

The Cat's whiskers - a whole ocelot pelt on the back of a brown nutria coat that is belted and fringed in brown leather. An oatmeal knit tunic underneath stops just short of flaring muskateer boots by Roger Vivier for Saint Laurent.

Leg-of-mutton sleeved throatbanded long velvet dinner dress narrow to the wrist and to the floor.

Saint Laurent's long look at fur and fringed leather, covered black velvet, Persian-rug coats ... worn by Mme. Francois Catroux

Mid-calf coats, Persian-rug prints:

Dark green and yellow arabesques on a beige double-breasted coat with skirt gathered low at the waist over a brown jersey jumpsuit.

Vivid blues, greens, reds, and pink on a long coat wrapped and sashed like a man's bathrobe over a navy blue jersey tunic and pants.

Left: lean greige tweed with thick welted seams in Helita wool. Saint Laurent scarf tucked into the neckline.
Right: dark brown wool jersey mid-calf over a cinnamon-banded navy thigh-length tunic over lean stovepipe pants.

Loden caped coat in white-flecked misty green wool. The Capelet just past the elbow, the skirt to mid-calf. Black jersey pants. Leather gloves by Kislav.
