            <p><font size="1" color="#FFFFFF">Yes, that staple of the Eighties 
              wardrobe, a far kinder alternative to leggings for those not in 
              possession of legs like matchsticks, are back for autumn/winter 
              2001. At least, according to Paul Smith - that's Sir Paul Smith 
              to you and me - they are. Thankfully, this time round, they won't 
              be worn with shoes, unsightly stirrups on display for all to see.<br>
              <br>
              Instead, Mr Smith had the sense to tuck them into high-heeled boots 
              to extremely flattering effect. Smith's show opened yesterday's 
              proceedings at the London Fashion Week and buyers and press were 
              treated to a veritable Winter Wonderland. <br>
              <br>
              Christmas trees twinkled with fairy lights, seats were draped with 
              pristine white fur (fake fur, naturally) and the floor was scattered 
              with opalescent snow flakes which, though pretty, played merry havoc 
              with fashionable shoes. Mon dieu! Mes Manolos! The collection itself 
              had all the idiosyncratic details that Smith's fans have come to 
              know and love.<br>
              <br>
              Heavy tweed skirts came with cute polka dot linings. Fake fur jackets 
              were trimmed with oversized pom-poms. A double-breasted striped 
              coat came with matching trilby. Dresses and T- shirts were printed 
              with merry snow scenes that could only come from this designer's 
              stable. Not for Smith the passion for logos - instead, he splashes 
              an illustration straight from a Heidi story onto a tote bag and 
              it is instantly recognisable as his own - no one else would do anything 
              quite so bonkers, after all. Pretty snowflake sweaters, worn with 
              or without ultra-cute bobble hats, looked sweet. Even these were 
              scattered with sequins to very merry effect.<br>
              <br>
              Smith's snow queen had more than a little of the rock chick about 
              her too: toffee coloured soft leather biker jackets and long lean 
              trousers will no doubt cut a dash next winter for apres- ski activities. 
              As, no doubt, will corsets, laced up the back and in heavy wool. 
              <br>
              <br>
              These didn't look the easiest of things to wear, it has to be said, 
              particularly worn as they were over chunky knitted sweaters. Vibrant 
              colours lifted the look: tomato red, chartreuse, peppermint green, 
              sugar pink and baby blue made for a collection that was light-of-touch 
              and upbeat from start to finish. Smith launched his womenswear collection, 
              Paul Smith Women, to the London catwalk three years ago now, in 
              response to women borrowing their boyfriends' "Smithy" clothing. 
              <br>
              <br>
              It by now has recognisable signatures in its own right, vital to 
              establishing a designer collection. These are eveningwear in luxurious 
              velvets - this time in ivory embellished with gold sequinned snowflakes 
              - and the man's shirt adapted for a woman, bright white or candy-striped, 
              cropped at the waist or worn long as a shirt dress.<br>
              <br>
              Joining the accessory of the autumn/winter 2001 season, meanwhile, 
              will no doubt be Paul Smith sock boots - vicious stiletto-heeled 
              creations which miraculously transform into warm woolly ribbed socks 
              in schoolgirl black and grey from the ankle up. Sexy and practical 
              too - a very rare thing indeed. </font></p>

              on Sunday with attention focused away from the catwalks and onto 
              a row behind the scenes over financial help for the industry. <br>
              <br>
              The row was sparked off by the notable absence from the week's activities 
              of Hussein Chalayan, whose haute couture skills have earned him 
              the title of designer of the year. Celebrated fellow designer Alexander 
              McQueen put the spotlight firmly on the problem in a BBC Television 
              on Friday. <br>
              <br>
              He said he thought it was sad that the government was not giving 
              financial help to the fashion industry -- as the French government 
              did in France -- particularly in the light of all the publicity 
              it generated. The minister for trade and industry , Patricia Hewitt, 
              responded by saying she regretted McQueen felt isolated and that 
              she would be happy to meet him to discuss the situation.<br>
              <br>
              But a BBC report on Sunday only served to rekindle the debate by 
              saying that Fashion Week "has a long way to go before it can rival 
              Paris and Milan." Meanwhile, back on the catwalks, the designs kept 
              up a British tradition for surprise. A Russell Sage's latest creations 
              in particular seemed to take a dig at the funding controversy by 
              parading a series of models covered in banknotes. <br>
              <br>
              Keen observers said at least 10,000 pounds (14,500 dollars, 16,000Aeuros) 
              was on display.</font></font></p>
