'collection They both used metal decoration they both love white contrasted with other colours- But Emmanuel Ungaro showed an original collection in his own right" There was the familiar waist-1 coat theme this time long gilets in crushed patent leather or printed with a swirling pattern But the dresses beneath- were softer- with pleats from the hips and necks scooped out a scarf knotted at the throat Seaming as always played a major part in the daytime shapes 8hort dresses had curving midriff belts and seams beneath the bust The neatly tailored double-breasted coats were cleverly cut with wide lapels squared-off raglan shoulders and a pair of seams at each side back and front NEAT AND SOFT Neat suits worn with soft blouses beneath turned out to be a trompe for off came jacket and skirt and we were left with a mini shirt dress Suddenly Ungaro has abandoned pastels in favour of black used with white for a stark contrast or in a three colour combination in rippling prints For evening the atmosphere was Arabian with sculpted sil ver making a variety of back- These came less breastplate tops with sheer organza trousers scattered with ribbon flowers or on a bare-midriffed mini dress exposing the navel like a skinny Eastern belly dancer The most amazing creations were a dress cape and trousers of lacy embroidery with ping-balls of polystyrene hang-the lere many revelations from Ungaro but he did show something a series of closed circuit TV screens relayed what the models were doing outside HOTCH-POTCH Pierre day started with saying a few words to the audienre And this self advertisement so untypical of Paris was indicative of the atmosphere Sitting in front of dazzling arc lamps with television cameras whirring away we endured a baking hot 2i-hour fashion show which seemed designed to publicise the Cardin name at any cost There was an enormous hotch-potch of styles and standards At his best Cardin produces superbly cut elegant like the silk evening dress with one tight sleeve the other arm swathed in a half cape of material £25000 WINNER Saturday 4125000 Errmiunt bond winner lives in inon The number: NKS53340 This Is the outfit that continues the near-nude

CRASH Evening Standard Reporter jpour Hendon soccer club fans on their way to North Shields were killed in a car crash on the Great North Road this morning The-Vauxhall Victor saloon in which they were travelling was with a bread van on the South-bound carriageway outside the V-bomber base at Wittering near Peterborough The car driver and three of the four passengers were killed One of the dead was Mr Jimmy Docherty aged about 50 of Orchard Oates Colindale His son Colin 21 was the fifth man in the car lie received severe leg and hand injuries The three other victims also came from Colindale The party was travelling to North Shields to see Hendon play in the third round of the Amateur Cup and the car had been hired for the day Mr Jimmy Docherty's wife Rosa stayed at -home A neighbour described Mr Docherty and his son as fanatical football fans outnumbered by Warsaw Pact troops by more than 2-1 in Infantry and 3-1 in armour The Warsaw Pact superiority in aircraft was nearly two to one The Communists advantage in numbers of tanks and in surprise was great as to render doubtful any prospect NATO might have of putting a successful conventional up defence for more than a few Mr Healey added Well perhaps It was only grand for the people who were judging and watching undoubtedly for some of the girls it was a bit of an ordeal For others it was a laugh One girl wanted' to bring her newly-found boy-friend along because it was his birthday and another kept her poof mother waiting outside In the lobby But they all seemed to get on quite well with each other and chattered gaily between the judging and the photographs The six judges had quite a time of it interviewing one pretty girl after another and it was a task which had to be carried out with some inner struggles of personal judgment Sporting But one thing was clear: they were an exceptionally nice bunch of girls all pretty! lively and interested Eventually the final six emerged and the others took the announcement of the winners most sportingly The six were all having their photographs taken by Evening Standard cameraman Roy Jones this morning They will appear In the Evening Standard on and then it
