Quite noticeable was Mrs. A. G., the former countess of Malfi, who was sensationally decked out in a long refugee coat by Mendes, tabbed and belted in webbing. It matched her bermudas matched to the cozy-collared, double-breasted battle jacket. On the lower level she was footed in Emm??? newly-designed shoes, like laced-up tennis sandals on thick crepe soles, in prairie green banded with jonquil yellow. She oohed and aahed the most when Canonero was brought out from his stall and admitted to being wild about all things Latin...
...revolution in human spirit. The usual checklist of "youth culture" rhetoric-radicals, drugs, sex, "the establishment"-is so common, that it's become easy to fall into the trap of thinking that no one has anything really important or sensitive to say.

On the jacket, the waist-to-thigh portion of a man's jeans has been caught in a moment of rakish nonchalance. In the appropriate place, a working four-inch zipper hangs invitingly. Beneath the zipper lies another waist-to-thigh photograph, this one naked save for a pair of white jockey shorts and bearing the logotype of the noted dispose-all artist, Andy Warhol (see ART). As a record-store attraction, the album is positively too dreadful to ignore...
...immigrant's face. In times past, thousands like it-high cheekbones, timid eyes poked like currants into a doughy Slavic mask, pale from weeks in steerage-streamed through Ellis Island. Add shades, a black jacket and dyed silver hair and you have America's perverse Huck Finn, son of Mrs. Julia Warhola from Mikova, Czechoslovakia-a face that, after Picasso's monkey visage, is perhaps the most instantly recognizable in art today...
