Designer Deleria What will it be, Calvin Klein ' s, Plain- Pockets or Tough-skins? If you are into the so-called, Designer Scene, you would have most likely chosen the Calvin Klein ' s. The designer craze is sweeping this na- tion by storm and some of it has even gone over seas. Some people will save all their hard-earned money just to buy a pair of Chic ' s, Gloria Vanderbilt, Sasson, Cal- vin Klein, and let us not forget, Jordache jeans. Designers have gone to such tactics as using beautiful models that cause the de- signer-dazed to believe they will look like that if they wear those clothes. Such as Gloria Vanderbilt Black Jeans, When a woman wears black, she expects some- thing to happen. Other designers have used such lines as, I ' m Galvanized, (Cal- vin Klein), A Tradition continued, (Le- vi ' s), You ' ve got the look! (Jordache), Oooh, La! La! (Sasson) and A size for every shape, (Chic). Jeans aren ' t the only items that are De- signer-designated. There are also shirts, sweaters, skirts, and shoes. The main competition in this area is Polo and Izod La Coste. In the beginning of the 80 ' s, Izod was on top, but within the past year, Polo has become the new King of the Hill. Ralph Lauren, (Polo) has also dabbled in perfumes and colognes. Izod La Coste, not to be outdone by Polo, has a new perfume out now, also. But they aren ' t the only ones, Gloria Vanderbilt, Oscar De La Renta, Calvin Klein and Yves St. Laurent have also expanded their ca- reers into fragrances. In the area of footwear, Bass is in the front with a big lead on everyone else, although Agner is not doing too bad. While Bass is just in footwear, Agner deals in footwear, along with sweaters, shirts, and leather items (purses, wallets, belts, etc.) As you can see, in this Designer-de- leria nation of ours it ' s more important to have a nice pair of Jordache jeans and a Polo sweater with Izod perfume than such insignificant details as paying your rent, getting gas for your car or having food to eat. I mean, really! Who needs a roof over their head when they have a Calvin Klein raincoat! Being a Senior is always in fashion say Shari Ur- banski. Renee Pajer, Connie Gilley, Carol Ann Gibbs. and Monica Self. Panama Jack had a big success with his unique brand of shirts. Tina Cotton displays the hottest fad this year, the mini-skirt.
