Japanese designer shows summer lim THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS— Kenzo Takada, the Japanese man who first stunned Paris with his colorful creations in the 1960s, is showing his light touch again with women's and men's summer ready-to-wear. The feathery-light clothes in spired by South Pacific, Caribbean and Sahara Desert styles were shown Sunday, way ahead of the usual summer ready-to-wear shows in October. "I want to move up the show ings to realistic timing," said Ken zo, explaining that by October, when big-name shows hit the run ways, most clothes are already on order and in the works. Buyers are currently in Paris for a group of menswear and early women's wear displays. Kenzo, in a light-hearted ihood, sipped champagne after the show and greeted guests in the 19th- Paris fashion show displays Tadaka's ready-to-wear men's, women's clothes century courtyard of the Belle Epoque-style Beaux Arts school. His menswear was particularly attractive. He offered not only superb planters' suits with silk or linen vests in creamy colors, but some great tie-shirt ideas, like poplin shirts depicting a vest or sus penders in the pattern. Kenzo also tripped out to the garden with beautifully printed ties matching up with a splash of tulips, asparagus or leeks on the shirt underneath. Men could give a lift to their weekend wardrobes with cheery stuff like this. "I'd actually like to try wearing some of the menswear," said fash ion artist and writer Carol Mongo. The cut for both menswear and women's clothes was soft and easy, though far from careless. Women's wear was sober but beautiful in sandy desert shades or sky blue and combinations\of turquoise, chartreuse, daffodil, coral, and wisteria violet. Long skirts? Kenzo has always done long and short lengths. Below-knee level predominat ed, with many skirts swishing around the upper ankle in blue bell shapes, or split and flared. Men's trousers were pleated at the waist and rather straight and wide, often drooping at the instep, an old favorite Paris chic touch for men. The women's pants were ap pealing as cropped wide models or narrow corsair or pirate pants. Not a tight in sight from the man who put out flowery version! couple of seasons ago. Kenzo often showed the pi form sole, back yet again women, or laced-up safari for men.

DALLAS — Nearly three Texans in four approve of the job Gov. Ann Richards is do ing, according to a poll by The Daillas Morn ing News. Richards scored highest among her base support ers of women. Democrats, liberals, minorities and those with moderate in comes. But she also drew good marks from conservatives and Republicans. The poll indicates the Democratic governor has a positive approval rating among virtually every group in the survey, including political supporters of President Bush. "She could be elected queen of Texas," said Micheline Blum of the firm Blum & Weprin Associates Inc., in New York, which conducted the survey for the newspaper. "She's got it every Way—the majority of Bill Cryer, a spokesman for Richards, called the figures "fairly astounding" and credited what he called the governor's ac tivist style in trying to stabilize insurance rates, clean up oil spills, ease jail overcrowd ing and improve education in the state. Karen Hughes, executive director of the Texas Republican Party, said the results re flect "the power of her personality rather than the popularity of her policies." Ninety percent of Democrats polled gave the governor high marks, compared wii percent of the Republicans and 73 percent of those who identify themselves as indepen dents.
