  Swimwear on the Runways at Fashion Week 
As the spring 2004 previews headed toward the Friday finish line, Michal Shafir, designer for Gottex swimwear, showed on Thursday how a few mere swatches of fabric could reprise iconic looks of mod girls from the 1960s and Shafir's "sexy divas" of the 1980s. 
This was no ordinary poolside attire. The traffic-stopping styles were complete ensembles, starting with daisy print bikinis that recalled the hippie era, accessorized with high-heel slides that repeated the flower power theme. Swimsuits with Op art patterns and mod cutouts on the sides suggested the mod generation. 
To find models suitable for wearing the skimpy fabric that passes as swimwear, Gottex saw at least 10 to 20 models a day for about a week before Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, said Lauren Weiss, a Gottex account executive. 
How did Gottex pick the best of the best? 
"Some people don't feel comfortable in swimwear, and you can see it immediately in how they present themselves," Weiss said. 
But surely you have to have a model's figure? 
"You need a fuller — I don't know the appropriate word for it, but you need to fill out the swimsuit," Weiss replied tactfully. 
Other swimsuit looks conjured up a "very rich, secure woman, sexy and successful," said Shafir, who added that her inspiration came from watching shows from past decades, such as "Dynasty" and "Dallas." 
That translated into a group of metallic swimsuits, including bronze maillots with matching high-heel bronze slides and plenty of bangles adorning the arm. Perhaps surprisingly, the favored look is one piece, not two. 
"A bikini can be very beautiful, but it's such a small item," Shafir said. "On a one-piece you have more space to work with."

Defense Bill Includes $19.1m Funding For Malden Mills 
Bankrupt military clothing maker Malden Mills is likely to be one of the main beneficiaries of the $368 billion Defense Appropriations bill which was given final passage by the Senate late last week. 
The bill, which now goes to the president for his signature, includes $19.1 million in funding for hi-tech apparel produced by Malden Mills for the US Army, Marines and Air National Guard. 
Under the bill, Lawrence-based Malden Mills Industries Inc will get $13 million for production of its Extended Cold Weather Clothing System; $3.15 million for clothing designed to protect naval aviators; and $3 million for continued research on military garments imbedded with sensors to monitor soldiers health and vital signs. 
The finance will provide a solid year-round business base for Malden Mills which filed for bankruptcy in November 2001.

 Buzz Off Insect Shield has introduced the first process
 registered by the Environmental Protection Agency for the
 manufacture of insect repellent clothing. Described as the
 biggest breakthrough in the apparel industry since the
 introduction of Gore-Tex 30 years ago, clothes treated with
 Buzz Off provide the benefits of a bug spray without the
 constant reapplication.
