Its only essential is\nthat it is soft, and terribly pretty.\"\nWhen he recently decided to go out for himself after eight years as\nassociate designer with Oscar de la Renta and before that as associate with\nLily Dache, Albert quite naturally became a member of a team. It comprises\nhimself as designer and vice-president, Ben Shaw and Jerry Guttenberg, well-\nknown fashion executives as President and Executive vice-president respec-\ntively, and Tony Sciano as secretary-treasurer and administrator. The new\nfirm dedicated to \"romantic but casual clothes combining luxury and comfort\nat a wonderful price\" showed its first collection in September and is already\na skyrocketing success on Seventh Avenue.\nAlbert, a born New Yorker and a graduate of Parsons School, attributes\nhis life-long fascination with romantic and exquisite clothes to his love\nfor his grandmother, \"a divine old-world beauty\", she instilled in him both\na respect for the beauty of clothes and an interest in how they were made.\n\"She taught me to love objects and to have an eye,\" he says.\nHe lives his philosophy in more ways than one. His New York apartment\nattests to his compulsion to collect beautiful things of any era, and his\neye enables him to make the melange into a cohesive and highly distin-\nguished collection. The apartment recently was shown in three different\nissues of the same home furnishings magazine.\nPeople 2/3/75\nThe first lady's new handpicked designer,\nAlbert Capraro, plans to dress her in soft\nfabrics like this rust-on-peach chiffon.\nA shirt-jacketed suit (below) in fake suede\ninstantly appealed to Betty Ford, a long-\ntime fan of easy sportswear.\nIN\nSTYLE\nTHE NEW MAN IN BETTY FORD'S LIFE\n-DESIGNER ALBERT CAPRARO\nWhen Betty Ford announced last No-\nvember that, as her small contribution\nto the battle against inflation, she\nwould no longer spend money on ex-\npensive designer clothes, it won her no\nWIN buttons in the fashion world, which\nthen sat back to see just exactly what\nthe First Lady would buy.
