    "The creative collaboration is really more important than the clothes," said Smith. His clothes don’t change drastically. The shapes are loose and easy, the prices comparatively cheap. "We are doing well and it affords us the chance to be experimental," said Mallet. "Besides, cultural inspirations for a certain period in time must certainly have validity for other artists," she added.
    Mallet, an alumnus of the prestigious "Science Pol," as the school is informally called, added, "Science Pol was good training for me in the fashion business or any business. It certainly disciplined me for keeping a pulse on business." (One Science Pol alum who was in New York this week, but not at the informal reunion, was former French president Giscard d’Estaing. He was lecturing that night at New York University.)
    Before the party ended, Smith raced to catch a plane to Syracuse, where he was lecturing the next day to fine arts students. "I am a product of video," he said, catching a glimpse of the television screens. "But all this may stop me from ever buying a television set."
    Washington-born model Gloria Burgess almost missed her first modeling assignment in New York this week. She had wanted to come here a day early to be ready for the Bill Blass show, but her mother insisted she take the first plane out the morning of the show. Her mother "had baked a coconut cream pie for Bill and she insisted it had to be made just before the show," said Burgess, who juggled the pie and her baggage on the 7 a.m. shuttle.
    Burgess, who lives in Paris and Washington, was not the only Washingtonian in the shows this week. Charissa Craig was in several shows. And Leslie Samuel and Rekah Ohal were bride and groom in the Michaele Vollbracht show.
