A Style That Doesn't Translate

By Barbara Kiviat

In what must be a comfort to her mother, there are people who want SARAH JESSICA PARKER to wear more clothing. Some Israelis got upset when images of the Sex and the City star sporting a slinky dress that exposed arms, back--and even a little thigh--started appearing on billboards around their country. Unilever quickly cleaned up its Lux soap ads by pasting a more modest dress on top and joked that Parker was bundling up for winter. Just, please, for mercy's sake, say they didn't touch her Manolo Blahniks.
