Step Up on Second's executive director Susan Dempsay turned 60--but there was no party; instead, to honor her, donors are giving to the Step Up endowment fund . . . The Downtown Women's Center took over the Stadium Club at Dodger Stadium for a benefit dinner . . . Hispanics for L.A. Opera were invited to the wine reception and opera recital at the home of Consul General of Mexico Jose Angel Pescador and his wife, Efigenia .Associates of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center hosted a membership gala at Four Seasons . . . White Memorial Medical Center celebrated an evening with Sergio Mendes and Brasil '95 at the hospital foundation's fund-raiser.
* Ringing in the holidays: Descanso Garden hosted its holiday feast and magical light display last week . . . Los Nike Air Max 90 Femme Angeles City Hall will be lit for the holidays Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with Adidas Superstar Mens a reception later in the City Hall Rotunda.
As New York designers prepare to show their fall collections next week, the accent is on brighter colors, softer shapes and a remembrance of things past. Chemises, trapezes, pajama pants and stovepipe pants are silhouettes found in fashion history books--and in these advance photos from some of Seventh Avenue's biggest names. Calvin Klein's waistless dress in yellow wool recalls a style popular in the 1950s, when versions of Hubert de Givenchy's "new look chemise" were worn around the world. The wide trousers of Donna Karan's purple outfit also seem a blast from the past; they're reminiscent of the gaucho pants worn by hipsters in the '60s. The Duchess of Windsor might have worn something like the gray cashmere suit designed Adidas Superstar Femme Fleur by Ralph Lauren. And Geoffrey Beene's flare-back jacket, worn over a Nike Air Max 90 Femme matching gray knit dress, recalls the 1958 "trapeze" shape invented by Yves Saint Laurent.
