  • Story Text: British designer Vivienne Westwood toned down her hallmark six-inch high heels and more bizarre trappings in Paris on Monday (October 16) to produce more adaptable clothes that women can wear from this year's spring/summer ready-to-wear collection.

    She made wide use of diaphanous gowns and a long black spangly lurex dress drew applause. Eighteenth century sailors' outfits with Nelson style hats were also well received. The wedding gown was a break-necked taffeta creation.

    Over 100 labels are presenting ready-to-wear collections during the nine-day Spring-Summer season, a number which grows each year as young new designers strike out on their own.
