New York fashion reports show many manufacturers holding line on prices for fall and winter lines with some reductions. Some brands kept 1976 levels due to preordered fabrics while higher opulent fabrics and labor costs nudged others up slightly. Designers and prices span from midrange dresses and suits to luxury furs and high end robes, with notable items from Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, Halston, and Oscar de la Renta reaching into thousands and even tens of thousands for bespoke pieces.
