"And it costs only a fraction of genuine leather," she added. It mixes a timeless look with technology that is easier to care for and less expensive. Sweaters and cardigans are always popular in the fall. As the days turn cooler, comfort as well as style is a good reason to don the knitted look. Plus it goes with jeans, skirts, split skirts and leggings.

Some of the most numbers on the runway never see the inside of a store. Their raison d'etre is to shock and delight the audience of socialites, department It's a store buyers and fashion press. Take, for example, Yves Saint eveLaurent's ning toga that covered only one breast. It was the talk of the town last spring, but the look didn't quite catch on. Even some garments that do reach the store undergo serious reworking.

A multicolor beaded catsuit by Gianni Versace Atelier runs around $10,000 at the same stores. "The catsuit is a fabulous look, great for editorial in Vogue, and everyone's hailing it as the greatest thing to come along," says Carolyn Mahboubi, owner of the Versace boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

(AP) -The targets lay spread-eagl- e on a mound of dirt. Sheldon Smith leveled his shotgun and gleefully pumped away, aiming mainly for the knees and ankles. When the smoke cleared, another set of blue jeans lay crumpled on the chewed-u- p embankment, riddled with holes. The Smith is a clothing designer. He sells Shotgun Wash Jeans and is making a fortune. His Jensen-Smit- h company is expected to gross more than $1 million this year, selling shotgun-ventilate- d jeans for $60 a pop. The tiny Chattanooga company made a flashy debut nearly tiiree years ago with a line of snakeskin-and-denijackets. "Part of the image we portray is real bold," he said. "It's almost reckless, like we'll do am tiling in jeanswear. "We got that attitude when we started in the Western business, because they all thought we were crazy. "From that time on, we've kind of kept on shaking people up with crazy things," he said. Which is why Smith and a couple of employees, loaded down with shotguns and boxes of blue jeans, recently traveled to a shooting range on Mowbray Mountain north of Chattanooga. "You guys shoot the knees and ankles. I'll get the rest," Smith p said as jeans were spread on the embankment. He advised them about different techniques. Stand close, and you make a nice, solid hole. A few paces back, and the result is an equally pleasing spray pattern. "If one little pellet hits the zipper, it'll ruin them," he warned. "Remember, knees and ankles. No crotches or butts." Once the bright new blue jeans are blasted, they are bleached and washed until they fray. two-dee- An empty shotgun shell is added as a tag. Smith got the idea after his brother-in-lawas wounded in the hip during a hunting accident. "He was fine, but he had a hole in his jeans. My sister would always show people, and they were fascinated by them," he said.

"We want to have fun with it for a while, make a statement and let it run its course, then get back to which is our normal business still not real normal," he said.
