THE BARENESS, THE FRAGRANCE: Everyone gets the messageNo question. The look of the moment is the look of skin—bare summer skin, tinted lightly by sun, showing silkily through cut-away backs and fronts and sides and middles. And smelling delicious…a hint of jasmine rising from the plunge of a neckline…clean, tingly traces of citrus lingering coolly in the curve of an arm…clouds of mimosa spinning in the air when a woman turns her back on a dance floor. Evocative, provocative, fragrance is the touch that rounds out the fashion, makes it personal…and sweet to all the senses…. On these pages, the whole day- and-night gamut of summer bareness: the clothes, the fragrances…the possible consequences.
