  • Story Text: MEN WANTING TO APPEAR "WAY OUR" - ESPECIALLY WAY OUT IN SPACE -WILL PROBABLY APPROVE VERY MUCH OF THE LATEST COLLECTION OF MEN'S CLOTHING DESIGNED BY PIERRE CARDIN, WHICH WENT ON SHOW IN PARIS TODAY (MONDAY). MUCH OF THE COLLECTION IS TAKEN UP BY FUTURISTIC OUTFITS WHICH, IF WORN IN PUBLIC, WOULD AT LEAST SIGNIFY THE WEARER WAS A MAN OF CONSIDERABLE COURAGE, IF NOT ACTUALLY AN ASTRONAUT.

    CARDIN ALSO HAS ON SHOW SOME MORE OR LESS "CONVENTIONAL" SUITS, INCLUDING HIS "SQUARE-SHOULDERED LOOK", WHICH IS QUITE THE REVERSE OF FUTURISTIC, LOOKING BACK TO PRE-WAR FASHIONS. THE COLLECTION ALSO INCLUDES ABOUT 30 FUR COATS AND DOZENS OF BATHING COSTUMES.
