will wear one of their outfits on the next Beatle album); The Byrds, Ala

"We don't try to identify the celebrities," say the
three young originators (husband and wife Kathy and Marc Warner, and
partner vice Regalbuto)," we just leave them (movie stars wives, leading
socialites) wearing our clothes all over town. Mrs. Hartford was
seenwearing one of our Kurta's (Indian traditional garb) in Venice."
THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THE NEW MOVEMENT IS THAT IT
DOESN'T FREAK-OUT; IT FREAKS IN.
Instead of going underground and anti-establishment
with acid, long hair, drugs the new movement goes far above ground trying
to establish some contact with "The Supreme Being."
Says Warner, "We opened the shop after reading "The Way
of the Master" (an Indian book of religious philosophy currently making the
best selling charts in colleges across the nation). We have a Guru in East
India and we are now working in the shop, saving our money, so that we can
go there and learn from him."
"THIS IS NOT A FAD." says Warner. This is nothing like
the old psychedelic scene. We are not interested in all that. This is a
much more moral thing. Our clothes could never be called dirty, or immoral.
They are the most covered-up that you can find. We are more interested in
the inner experience." |
