During the current tour, for instance, she may have looked a shade worn to be doing The Sleeping Beauty. But her Juliet was so youthfully supple that she seemed to yield to Nureyev's lifts like some delicately submissive scarf of chiffon...
Added Mystery. One designer who refuses to be pushed to damned lengths is Rudi Gernreich: "I'm very much against the midi because it's illogical. It's like going to Mme. Tussaud's." Says Bill Blass, "I'm bored with fashion dictatorship. Women are not going to wear something just because it's publicized...
