REPUBLIC HNAL Ol MONDAY, OCTOBER 86 THE ARIZONA Htt-ubUw Paris fashion gyildl planus tight security for shows! Associated Press PARIS When the ready-to-wear shows open this week, all the men in blue blazers and red neckties won't signal a new fashion trend. They'll be security guards. In response to a series of bombings in Paris, the 1987 spring fashion shows will feature handbag and body searches, more guards and strict crowd control as part of the routine. But Jacques Mouclier, head of the fashion guild, says the industry "won't let terrorism frighten us" and the shows will go on. Beginning Wednesday and lasting more than a week, the shows will be held in three tents set up in the restored Cour Carre (Square Courtyard) of the Louvre palace.

Following the September wave of terrorist bombings in Paris that killed 10 and injured 162, the Chambre Syndicate the fashion guild of couture and ready-to-wear, which organizes the shows decided to enforce strict security measures. "We are more than doubling our security guards, from 24 to 56," said Mouclier, executive president of the Chambre Syndicate. The guards will be in blazers and ties, but as fashion pros know, they can play rough at show entrances. "The city of Paris will also have a (busload) of policemen standing by," Mouclier said. important, we are only allowing a strict minimum of spectators at the shows with numbered seats, instead of 1,500 or so as in the past There will be no standees." In the past, journalists and buyers at the semiannual, ready-to-wear shows have endured overcrowded tents and shoving mobs of "fashion groupies" and people who claimed to be friends of the designers.

"We're also drastically cutting down on the number of photographers and TV cameramen to be allowed in," Mouclier said. Those who attend the shows will be searched at least twice, once at the entrance to the courtyard and again at the tent entrances. Guards will frisk spectators, look through handbags and inspect numbered, individual invitations. They also may inspect identification papers. All outsized bags will have to be left at a checkroom.

Once inside, spectators will be locked in, and each exit will be watched by a guard. Those who wish to leave early will have to furnish identification papers. Fashion industry officials said they did not expect fear of terrorism to cut attendance by foreign professionals. "We've had just as many requests for accreditation to the shows as ever," Mouclier said. Maurice Cau, director of Yves Sain( Laurent's Rive Gauche marketing department, said he expected all of the 450 worldwide buyers directly concerned with Saint Laurent to attend to his show.

Some 37 big-name fashion compaJ nies will present shows in the Cour Carre during the week. But many designers will show elsewhere and are expected to have their own security guards at the private showings. Givenchy will parade luxury ready-to-wear at the Hotel Scribe, near the Opera. Azzedine Alaia will show as usual in his tiny work" room-boutique in the historic Marais area. Jean-Paul Gaultier is expected to put on his usual kooky extravaganza in a huge theater at La Villette, once the Paris meat market.

But the three-year contract, retroactive to Nov. 16, 1985, would allow the networks to reopen negotiations on the point if its technical unions agree to give up some of their duties, they said.

When the Utah couple took over Hanuacraft, Lee Robertson said, "it was more than $4,000 in debt and with an equal amount of unsaleable stuff on hand goofy little carvings or valuable museum pieces that shouldn't leave the country." In a little more than a year, it has acquired inventory worth almost $100,000 and more orders from abroad than it can fill. International organizations like Oxfam and the Save the Children Fund also buy pieces for sale in fund-raising shops. The Robertsons did not come to Port Moresby expecting to become experts in Papua New Guinea art.

But while they were still in language training, the Peace Corps was approached by local officials for help in organizing the faltering Hanuacraft, which Papua New Guinea wanted to develop into a business that would monitor art exportation and protect artists from exploitation. Hanuacraft, freed of government control and support in early 1985, now has to compete with slicker primitive art shops aimed at the tourist and cruise-ship trade. babies is named Eva Tomakita. The Robertsons say that as newcomers to Papua New Guinea art and as Westerners, they were at first treated with suspicion by village craftsmen.

Hanuacraft's major customers are art galleries and dealers in and around the Pacific rim, from the United States to New Zealand.
