It seems like just about everybody has a clothing line these days.

The latest additions to the off-the-rack offerings come from Sean ÒPuffyÓ Combs and that millionaire man himself, Regis Philbin. With Puffy pants and Regis wear, can Survivor sarongs be far behind?

Gore-tex, a popular textile blend is the perfect fabric for the current presidential election year combining the Al GoreÕs bland with GWÕs Texas flair.

With President Clinton soon to be out of work, his best bet may be hitting the retail market with a line of casual wear. I can see Bill now debuting Clinton Casuals in wash and wear polyester blend, the perfect mix-and-match sportswear for golf or just plain goofing off.

Celebrity mom Madonna has the perfect moniker for a collection of maternity wear or stretchy new mother garb.

As the mother of two, her ever-evolving sense of style will surely go through yet another transformation.

I would like to introduce a collection of kids wear that is germ resistant, water-repellent, teflon coated and needs no washing. These wonder garments would also grow along with the child. Imagine receiving a layette that would accommodate your little one from crib to college! Of course an 18-year-old may balk at wearing a t-shirt embossed with Thomas the Train, but with some creative designing and use of primary colors, the perfect wardrobe could be assembled.

Accessories are always big and fashion mavens are hot for Monica LewinskyÕs line of satchel-like purses in bright colors and fabrics. How about kerchiefs by Kelly? That intrepid survivor will be off the air and off the island tonight, one million dollars richer or not.

The headgear worn by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has yet to catch on with lay society despite its cutting-edge style and space efficiency. The popeÕs collapsible mitre and cardinalsÕ scarlet beanies make a powerful fashion statement which have transcended centuries.

ElianÕs Miami relatives may yet cash in on the boy who won the hearts of Americans from coast to coast with boys bullet-proof t-shirts which contain an easily activated built in flotation device in the seams.

ItÕs anybodyÕs guess whose current couture will be featured in the fashion mags in the months to come, but itÕs a safe bet that we havenÕt seen the last of celebrity rags.
