| Description: | Fashions: Italy Bids for a Place in the Sun. Italy's top designers stage a colorful style show replete with colorful old world setting, tricky new gowns, and appealing young models. Bidding for place in fashion sun, Rome's couturiers come up with some catchy styles with cute gimmicks sure to appeal to feminine hearts. Female models in outdoor settings show off a variety of outfits that scream "1950s" in their style. An everyday dress with collar, fitted waist, pleated skirt; model wears short gloves. Oh, my - a model unveils a two-piece swimsuit that has corn kernels decorating it - unusual bikini, sexual innuendo. Women removes wrap-around skirt to show off her outfit; it's a striped number with a sleeveless top and matching capri-style pants, with a head scarf that also matches; the model turns her skirt into a cape or shoulder wrap. Another model takes apart a parasol and turns it into a wraparound skirt (convertible clothing). Another convertible outfit - elegant-looking woman unties the bow of her solid-colored skirt and flips the material around toward the back (reversible), revealing a pattern that matches the bodice top of her outfit; this pattern looks more informal than the other side of the skirt. | |
