VREELAND'S VOGUE

"On the beam, - a shiny fake-silver star hitched to a hank of hair."
Necklace-pendant by Clark for William de Lillo.

Scassi

"Look what beautiful things Scassi has done with sari cloth - made a little gypsy, left, in gauzy white with red print. And matching red print for a gypsy scarf, wrapped tight to the head, the ends streaming. Right, his wide deep decolletage in orangey-red sari cloth with short, tight sleeves, flashed of gold...plus fringy tassels to wrap up the arm."

Saint Laurent

Y is the first letter of Yes

And of Young.

And of Yves.

And of You?

Mocuhe in Mainbocher

"Black crepe one-shouldered tunic curving like petals over knife-pleated black chiffon with a flutter of jeweled butterflies by Sonia Younis of Tiffany."

Mainbocher's white silk crepe shirtdress, diamante buttons, pale blue at the waist belted with diamante buckle.

Amber and brown over a long flow of white wool challis, crossed at the neck, worn with a choker of giant angelskin coral, from Tiffany.

Veronica Hamel

in 

Galanos

Pintucked white wool jersey, deep slash from neck to midriff.

"A shining paradox, smothered with gold Victorian roses and new as the coming decade an adorable little lace chemise tumbling over its sash of braided chain."

"Nine-tenths coat tossed over streamer-sashed pants. Silvery white -lace flowers misted over a jewel-blazed top." MacCarthy lace.

"Flung long as a Persian tunic and open from bosom to hem - a pleat at the side of each leg adds a flash of width to the gunmetal lame pants." Lame threaded with Lurex."

THE WAY WE WORE - SPRING 1968

Who designed this?

Cardin

Ungaro: a butterfly in mink and organdie. Tunic and pants of open-work white organdie with St. Gall embroidery and intervals of ribbon beading under a vest shaped in rounds-of-white mink beaded with red ribbon.

Above: Cardin's black wool crepe harnessed by a Mannoni metal sculpture - a headlight, sculptured in polished steel flashed by a diamond bulb.

Below: Cardin white wool crepe hangs from polished metal straps on a scultured band by Mannoni

Bottom: Ungaro's white stretch overalls with fuzzy-edged plaid running up and down the legs and edging the matching sculpted coat.

Cardin

Ungaro

Givenchy

Funnel-leg jumpsuit of skin-beige nylon pelted with thousands of snowflowers with diamante dew. A white cire sash is tied beneath the bosom.

Sideline: brown ruffled pyjamas. transparent nylon legs  flowing from a snug torso under a bias jacket that opens on a slant.

More Givenchy Genius

Big-cat black spots over tawny transparent organza bared-midriff, funnel-legged pyjamas.

Saint Laurent

Black linen over bareness. Brief tight top over a stretch of midriff, cape and skirt wrapped high at the thigh with a gypsy sash of cerise silk. Flamenco earrings and combs - all Saint Laurent.

Twiggy wears Saint Laurent's white tunic crusted in paillettes and wooden beads, sashed in white satin worn over brown sequinned shorts.

Lady-like transparency in chiffon, a part of  Saint Laurent's new short 'Smoking'- the pants just above the knee.

Saint Laurent's tunic pyjamas thickly clustered with little bunches of pink-and-blue flowers embroidered on lace and edged in pink linen.

Castillo

Castillo's bias toga of brilliant yellow crepe falling in points and folding over a classic narrow dress slit high on the left side. Earrings by Lena Baretti.

GRES

Tobacco linen skirt falls in a fan of pleats over one leg, wraps over one shoulder with a slit for the arm. Tiny shorts beneath.

More Madame Gres Magic - the kite dress, pointed front and back, flowing from the open triangle neckline to the asymmetric hem - deeply slashed at both sides.

Gres' navy bias cape taped in white over a navy jersey maillot skimming the body as fluidly as lotion.
