WRII'YYE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8,19B92 NVOU!EN VOGUE~ EN N* VOGUE EN VOGUE~ EN -VOGUE, German fashion --m fantasies for everybody, flot the few, (SOP) So German fashioný isn't on the cutting edge? No prohlem! And German styling teams are consistently outshone by French and Italian design superstars? Well, that may be hard on th e ego, but the Gernans find i's just fine on the bottom ime.

German retailers, they say, had grown too quîckly and were not really poesoas. The situation endured for some Urne and thon the market became botter organized with a more profes- sional distribution system. Canada, too, vil overcome its problems, they feel, and when it does, they xet teoi~o~ succesaful wori g relationship between Canadian buyers and German manufacturers. ________________ F~~)ROM PAGE 15 ~...~........
