Are you going to wear long skirts?

– Catherine Deneuve, actress (wearing a green tweed Saint Laurent suit with skirt ending at the knees): ”Yes, but just for evening. Two from Saint Laurent-the full one and the one with fringe.” (Black suede to about mid-calf, fringed from hem to ankle.)

– Paloma Picasso, designer (wearing Hermes skinny pants and ”my own scarf, of course”): ”Long is not for me, unless it is to the floor. When I saw that length at Chanel, I said, `That is for me.` ”

– Susan Falk (5 foot 4), president, Henri Bendel: ”You bet. Definitely from Karl Lagerfeld. And I`m going to wear them with high heels, the highest heels I can find. I`m already wearing platforms. But, I`m going to keep on wearing short skirts, too.”

– Annette de la Renta (5 foot 5), New York social and charity benefit leader, wife of you-know-who: ”No, I`m going to stay with what I`m wearing. I`m too short for long skirts.”

Did you tell that to Oscar?

”Yes, of course. He knows it. And he doesn`t care.”

– Ines de la Fressange, designer, boutique owner, former Chanel model

(wearing cigarette slim velvet pants): ”I`ve already started wearing long from my last collection and I will continue. But only very tight and very long-but not transparent.”

Anna Wintour, editor in chief, Vogue: ”I`m pro-choice.”
