Jumpsuits finding a willing market
Albert Capraro is offering a rainy-day model, made of water-repellent poplin in celery green.
Group after group in his line is greeted with rolls of applause: yellow and white striped beachwear; sophisticated white, pencil-skirted suits; flowing black evening wear.
Capraro, clearly, is a designer to talk to. But. There's no. rapid transit system to Olympus.
His summer showing, fittingly, verges on a Gower Champion Production. Lights down, lights up, music blaring, models cavorting.
And there you have the reason for the hoopla.
A year ago, Betty Ford saw a feature on Albert Capraro in a local Washington paper and called him to design for her. Up he flew to a royal box on Olympus.
While taped disco music pounds the hearing into gruel, one of Capraro's partners seats the more important spectators. Tall and Maitre d'ish in a black suit, he says in passing, "No, the White House couldn't come, but they sent flowers."
Endlessly, New York's fashion set spills into the Fashion Institute of Technology's auditorium. It's an airy, modified amphitheater--tier upon tier of gray carpeted stairs facing a large stage. Hard on the back, but impressive.
The hard-faced ladies in massive minks, 18 carat bangles and leather boots so supple they must have been gummed by ancient Eskimo women. And the winsome young men with thick hair and secrets in their eyes as they smile and wave at each other.

When they ask me what makes me tick, I tell them Albert Capraro
Like this dress. Blue and white ticking-stripe knit, kimono-deep sleeves, a pulled together waist, huge side pockets, string ties.

One is not enough
Albert Capraro-the one who dresses you. Now there's another Capraro. The designer of a new luminous look for eyes: jewel-like frames so light they barely brush the skin, and shaped purely for prettiness.
At left is a deep ruffled skirt edged in white eyelet embroidered with a tucked hip yoke. It's topped by an off-shoulder ruffled and lace-edged blouse. The pants costume with tuck-in white blouse has a softly quilted jacket with loose bell sleeves.

Rich Evening Attitudes
To light up the night at the theatre or the best disco in town.
Capraro's shirred strapless bodice here is green jersey under a red Hawaiian flower-print cotton jacket and skirt.
Phyllis George (of sports and beauty), who is now attached to John Y. Brown (of chicken and Kentucky), chose several of Capraro's strapless things for the wedding trousseau she put together last month.
Capraro includes strapless bodices that he claims look great on any figure because of his shirring and light construction.
"If not (didn't you know there was going to be an "if" here?) there are ways to look it (young, sexy and beautiful) by the strategic use of such fashion ploys as Albert Capraro exults in his summer 1979 collection."

Love this piece of copywriting on behalf of designer Albert Capraro: "If you're young, sexy and beautiful, this is the summer of your heart's content." Got that?
