PARIS, October 7, 1999 Nicholas Ghesquiere continued his revival of the silhouettes Balenciaga pioneered in the '50s, and brought them up to speed (which, in this season, means going back to the '80s). Loose sack-dresses, sweaters and coats with dolman sleeves, as well as pleated pants tapered at the bottom, predominated; but there were also preppy, slim trousers with matching long-sleeved shirts and blazers. The palette was restrained for the most part: Plum, beige and navy were the main colors.
