Claude Montana's . . . red line was striking: long coats and suits mixing all shades from maroon to fire-engine in blousons, jackets buttoned high up to the red shirt and shortie tie, wide pants pleated at the waist . . . Yves Saint Laurent's striking and solidly commercial men's collection ((had)) touches of color and luxury fabric in clothes cut for everyone from successful yuppies to bankers with a yearn to branch out . . .
