the population in this city are stu-
dents. (Its institutions are so wide-
ly acclaimed that anybody who is
anybody in Europe has graced a
Heidelberg campus.)

Therefore, style on the streets
and in the beer halls spills over
from the classroom.

“Ivy League’’ is not in the
German vocabulary, and instead,
somber-colored knits prevail in
lightweight, wrinkle-resistant -
layers.

Black, off-white, mustard and
navy give an impression of a
“poor student, tormented creator
and politically active youth.”? But
butter-soft leather belts, belt bags
and expensive shoes give their fi-
nancial standing away.

Munich, on the other hand, ap-
pears to have cornered the market
on designer merchandise.

Shop after shop of well-known
labels lines the streets around the
Glockenspiel and St. Peter’s
Towcr, and well-dressed women
parade among them.

“Dressed”’ is the important
word, here.

The ladies pay homage to fash-
ion gods like Chanel, Hermes,
Vuitton and Ferre as well as those
with German names such as
Lagerfeld and Steilmann.

They prefer classic suits and
dresses and are very particular
about their genuine jewelry.

fads and fashions worn with confidence and pinache.

dJoagers, walkers, and those’

A: who exercise, often wear nylon
jogging suits. Most of the suits are
made with multi-colored fabrics, and
they are usually labeled as washable
in cool water,

Cool water is the key to remember
when washing such garments. Dyes
in ‘the fabrics used to construct
athletic outfits are colorfast in cool
water (maximum 104°D/40°C), but
will bleed at higher temperatures.
Once the garment has been washed
at.a higher. than recommended
temperature, the dye will continue to
bleed in subsequent washings.

Dyes on garments of this type can
transfer if the article remains damp
‘and crumpled in the machine for a

your suit professionally cleaned.

Amsterdam is home to the
leaders of the pack. They dress
dangerously on the edge, and
sometimes live that way, too.

Style seekers in Amsterdam love
gimmicks.

Heavily studded jackets, asym-
metrically cut suits, patchworked
and appliqued shirts, and heavily
ornamented belts and shoes all
make statements.

Locals buy their eclectic
clothing from the kilometre-long
market in the heart of the city
that features second-hand and
vintage finds, outrageous new de-
signers’ creations, American-
brand casuals and ethnic Third
World garb.

Some of the popular European
manufacturers’ labels are also
prevalent here, such as Mexx, Big
Star, Pepe and Benetton.

The Van Gogh museum, the
paths by the many bridged canals,
and the cafes around Anne
Frank’s house are filled with con-
temporary couples with the
women wearing short skirts, fitted
jackets, slim pants, leather
bombers, poet’s shirts, vests and

Jt seems that no matter where
you travel in ltaly, men show
more style and fiair than women.

In Milan, Florence and Venice,
these smooth operators pay close
attention to details and accessoriz-
ing.

They wear gold rings, gold
chains, gold watches and gold
cufflinks, but with subtle
sophistication, not gaudy display.

The Italian men have charm
and polish, and with the right
shoes and shirt, can even make a
pair of worn jeans look
sophisticated enough for an even-
ing Tuscan meal.

The men who frequent the areas
around the Duomo and Baptistry
in Florence and the Piazza San
Marco in Venice travel exclusively
in the best: fabric, shoes, cars —
