Hardy Amies, 72, who also designs men’s wear, said he thinks the Canddian problem “is one of an elemental lack of co-ordinated taste.” In Toronto for meetings with Cambridge Clothes, his Canadian suit licensee, and Currie Neckwear, Amies said that if he had his way,.the © rumpled, crumpled linen look * -ef Giorgio Armani and-com- pany would be sent packing and the man in’ the grey flannel suit would be alive and well and selling again. “Right now the basis of the men's look is. athletic. That means nothing tight — after all you don't want to look like 1 French pouf, do you?” he sald, chuckling. “No gold . watch chains, no tie pin, no suff‘links, no flared ‘trdusers .ind certainly no large-wide- :ollared shirts.
