Vanity Fair's recent issue has a photo article about Eleanor Lambert who was an early PR rep for the New York fashion industry. One of the more delightful aspects of today's cultural mores is the indifference to high fashion; young people know that dressing up is for 'suits' ,secretaries, the harem women of 'society', and the children on the Red Carpet. One remembers meeting hip, candid Audrey Hepburn at a party for Givenchy who looked bored to death in Chicago; she wore a green jewelled dress and when complimented smirked and said, "Hell I'd never wear or be able to afford this; just wearing it for Hubert."
