Fashion Eos Angeles S-itneB Friday, September 21, 13 Listen I Z- "-r: I 1 ILL three days before. Wells told Listen that she'll be in Los Angeles on Sept. 30 to tape a "Family Feud" segment, competing with former Miss Americas. From the standpoint of attire, it was possibly the craziest party of the year: a half black -tiehalf casual beachwear affair at which the gentlemen wore tuxedos on top and swimsuits, clam diggers or running shorts on the bottom. As is their custom, they also put on silly hats.

Their dates turned out in formal gowns and bare feet, although, according to one of the hosts, San Diego attorney William F. Woods: "Those who insisted on heels were relegated to standing on the few rocks on the beach." By Woods' account, he and a small group of bachelor friends host the black -tie beach event at the Wind and Sea beach in San Diego every year. Compiled by the Fashion84 staff. Barbra Streisand Pat Kennedy Lawford was wearing an argyle paillette ensemble by French designer Jean -Louis Scherrer. Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia was in a black cocktail dress by Venezuelan designer Carolina Herrera.

But it was the brand new Miss America, Sharlene Wells, who made the most fashionable Gene Barry swath at the opening of Broadway actress Vivian Blaine's Park Ten restaurant in New York this week. Wells went very all-American in a black, red and white chemise from J.C. Penney. "I won a $1,000 gift certificate from Penney's, so I went shopping," explained the beauty queen, who had been crowned just prize-winning legs. "My wife fixes me up like this," Moses explained.

"She won't let me go anywhere looking too conservative." On the suede and narrow: Barbra Streisand has bought 35 suede high-neck shirts, slim tunic dresses, narrow pants and long pleated skirts in a rainbow of colors, at about $400 apiece, says the young L.A. designer who created them, 29-year-old Jeanne Iguchi. There's more. Streisand also ordered matching suede belts and bought extra suede in order to have matching brimmed hats made. Iguchi, whose customers also include Tina Sinatra and Sharon Gless, reports that Streisand doesn't shop the way the rest of us do.

After visiting Iguchi's West Hollywood studio, Streisand invited the designer to her home so that Iguchi could get an exact picture of how she likes to dress. And Streisand does like to dress. The two of them went through Streisand's closet for four hours, Iguchi says, adding that La Barbra already owned a closetful of suede. Alongside the tobacco, the pipes and the pens, Alfred Dunhill of London recently housed a collection of what can only be called celebrity doodles: a Vincent Price self-portrait, a lithograph of a child and dog by Sally Struthers, a sketch by Olivia Newton-John and other creations by Richard Chamberlain, Ed Asner, Hayley Mills, Gene Barry and Dick Clark. One evening last week, as guests mingled in the Rodeo Drive shop and sipped the new Dunhill Scotch, the doodles were auctioned off as a fund-raiser for the New Dramatists, an organization that assists developing playwrights.

No one was more enthusiastic about the cause than Dunhill U.S. president Michael M. Walter. For Farrah Fawcett's signed pink kiss-imprint Edwin Moses and Tony Randall's stick figures, Walter bid $750. The beauteous Boy George has gotten to Elizabeth Arden.

To promote Eye-Fix, a cream that is applied to the eyelids before eye shadow, Arden sent out press kits containing pictures of four people who have high intensity eyes: Cher, Deborah Harry, Arden model Jackie Adams and the king of androgyny himself Boy George. An Arden spokesman said that, no, Boy George is not under contract to the company and will not be used in future ad campaigns for their products. "We used him to point out how eye makeup can be very dramatic," said Jack Bolster, director of corporate affairs at Elizabeth Arden Inc. At this rate, can Mick Jagger lipstick be far behind? Barbie wins Oscar: The world's most famous fashion doll will finally get her just wardrobe when one of the world's most famous designers, Oscar de la Renta, presents his first collection for Mattel's Barbie. The New York designer, who will be in Los Angeles for a personal appearance at Bullock's next week, tells Listen that he'll doll up Barbie in about six designs.

He says that it's too soon to reveal what trends she'll set with the toy polloi. "I think it'll be a lot of fun," Oscar says. Annual Show Los Angeles designer William Travilla, executive designer for all three shows, will present the fashions, to be worn by actors and models, Trister said. Retailers who would like more information about the event should contact Owen Murphy of the Frederick Atkins buying office, Ruth Bregman at the Arkin buying office or Martha Denslow at Associated Merchandising Corp. Invites Retailers to the country's second-ranked garment-producing city, after New York.) Trister said that this year's mayor's reception will be highlighted by a preview of fashions from Lorimar's fall, 1984, TV productions of "Dallas," "Knots Landing" and "Berrenger's," which is a new show about a department store president and his family scheduled to preview in November.

Karan de-Kleins: Donna Karan, co-designer with Louis dell'Olio for Anne Klein Co. for the last decade, will branch out with her first collection under her own name for fall, 1985. Spring, 1985, will be her last collection in collaboration with Dell'Olio, who will continue to design the line. Karan, however, will still serve as a consultant to Klein. Takihyo a Japanese textile-apparel complex, which is the majority owner of Klein, will also be the principal owner of Karan's new venture.

"Truly, it's a dream of a lifetime come true," Karan told Listen. "Had I not felt the power Anne Klein has today, I could not have done it, because I've had a complete commitment to Klein. Louis and I are totally together on this change. To be able to express myself completely what I'd like and who I am I had to do it on my own. It's like giving birth to another child." Olympic fanfare, please.

What did Olympic superstar Edwin Moses do on his post-Olympic European track tour? He went shopping, and, in Italy, Moses met designers Tai and Rosita Missoni. "Tai Mis-soni is an ex-Olympian, and he invited me and my wife to meet him and the whole family," Moses told Listen, adding that the Mis-sonis gave him a sweater and gave his wife, Myrella, a sweater coat. Moses also bought Moreschi loafers "that's the kind Michael Jackson wears," the gold medalist explained. "At least, that's what they told me." The Moreschis, of course, are for play. When Moses goes to work, he wears Adidas track shoes which are what he wore when Adidas unveiled its spring apparel line last week at the Palace.

But Moses left his track shorts at home, choosing instead a light blue Willi Smith cotton jacket and pants with pink pinstripes running the length of his Mayor's Committee Mayor Tom Bradley's Fashion Advisory Committee, headed by Barbara Trister, will host its 11th annual reception and fashion show on Oct. 7 in the Grand Ballroom of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Invitations have gone out to about 2,000 of the nation's retailers, many of whom will be in Los Angeles at that time to purchase spring clothes for their stores from companies here.
