Jou Jou's El Paso, Texas, plant has an Iraqi immigrant, Kamal Mahmood, who has been entrusted with the designing of rips in the jeans. Once he positions the rips, he transfers his vision to bolts of denim as he runs them through the machinery. "As the machines cut the fabric, the rips are put in place," Mahmood said. "The customer needs to be careful because you want to expose flesh, but leave a lot to the imagination. If you put the rip in the wrong place, it just looks like a rip." Jeans aren't the only thing ripping through the fashion scene these days. Big, baggy clothes are the favorites of many. They wear longer and hide a multitude of dietary sins. The more wrinkled they are, the pre-rippi- Jeans. They are the staple of the American clothing diet. They cost, new, anywhere from $9.95 to $70. In Russia, you can get up to $300 for a real pair of Levi's. No matter what fashion dictates to be "in" this season, Levi 501s are always in.

Then, they sleep on it, so to speak, and arrive at school fresh and in fashion. At Six Flags Over Georgia (the ".''4 V I - l & u l j' , r 14 . !

Fashion doesn't stop with clothes. No, hair is next, and again, bigger is better. By taking a survey, Clairol Inc. has found out what collegians are doing with the strands of dead protein on their heads. Six out of 10 college women are perming their hair to give it that fluffy, fuller look. Half of the women are "highlighting" their locks. In fact, men are also "tipping" their that, the survey found that it (the hair) is covered with white baseball caps or bandanas tied in the back. Another popular 1960s craze to return (although no one can figure out why) is the peace sign. It is found on: earrings, bracelets, pendants and tattoos. Some students have taken to fashioning peace-sig- n earrings out of recycled can lids. Probably the hottest craze to come running by this and bicycle pants.
