A courdoroy iacket and blue ieans are a must in every man's wardrobe, and Kenny Wayne fills the bill. 86 And of course that oh so ethnic look is not to be forgotten, even if your squash blossom necklace and Dashiki are momen- tos of an Akron Saturday sale and not your worldly travels. Ready to wear is no longer the manu- facturer's trademark of assemblyline in- genuity. Instead, it is an accurate descrip- tion of what people expect from their clothes, easy maintenance, durability, and most importantly, drama. As most people have discovered on the-ir own, yesterday's junk is today's treasure. Not surprisingly, mama's aviator jacket and Carmen Miranda club-foot correctors fplatformsl are back. One may obtain their wearables everywhere from I, Magnin's to thriftshops, garage sales, closets and trash- cans. So whether one's self image springs liberated, flaunting that just off the Kib- butz look or that Yves St. Laurent freak of the week flair, that's just fine. Fashion is a sociological movement, says social commentator Blair Sabol, and today any- thing goes. Comfortable and looking good.

'-Y' ' '4 shoes, no shoes . . . backless, sideless, semi-frontless sun dresses . . . perma press everything . . . tennis this and tennis that . . . Garbo and Gatsby hats, large, floppy, and romantic, bubushka and turban style scarves . . . jackets of the pendleton, Corduroy, and velvet variety . . . all this in the Center ring. Either this is freedom or it's halloween. Diversity being the rule rather than the exception, each person sets his own style, creating a mass con- glomeration of the old and new. Whoever you are, whatever you are, the mode is a fleeting flash of reality that assigns an okay,.dash, question mark to everything from japanese walking thongs to rhinestone halter tops. While the older, more conventional modes of dress still prevail in the white shoe-white pants-sport's jacket tradition, the stronghold phenomena of the street Creation continues to reign supreme.
