And, in working with department stores and specialty shops, he knows what women want and what is selling. / Right now, the leaders for the fall and winter ahead are beaded gowns and chemise shapes, usually unbelted. "BEADS MAKE UP about a third of our business," said Owens at his office-showrooms in the heart of New York's garment district. "We show beaded sweaters, beaded short din­ ner dresses, beaded long formals, beaded tops combined with other materials. "Women are wearing beads for all seasons. Beads are the big news of 1983-84. "I don't know where women wear such finery, but they do." 1 Because of structure and sheei;weigfrt of the beads, moat of the beaded dreaies are chemise, or shift, shapes. "I don't know what's supposed to be new about the chemise," said Owens, of a classic style revived for the next season by the likes of Yves St. Laurent of Paris, James Galanos of Los Angeles, and any number of other style leaders. The chemise never went away. We've never been without it," Owens said of the easy-fitting style. "I think it holds because it's something every woman can wear.

As for the gowns beaded from neckline to hem, they offer no problems In sitting. The- well-made ones have an inner lining and moat of the beads are hand sewn. Owens said a major trend In fashion today1 reflects the Oriental influence. Japaneee designers' casual, unfitted shapes In muted colors have become a major factor in ready-to- wear. What surprises him, he said, la the steady sale of one category in his showroom -- the so- called bubble dress for larger sixes. This la un- » fitted until it reaches the hemline, where It tucks into a border of stretch fabric. "It lust isn't what I think of for the fuller figure," her said, "but many ef these women nave *$-2 aolutely beautiful legs to show off." . RON OWENS CAME INTO the apparel business by way of Hollywood and the movies. His area was promotion, not design. He worked with Helen Rose and her staff of " designers for MGM studios and recalled with nostalgia the days when Greer Garson, Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor and Lena Home wore Rose-designed costumes. "But I got sort of bored with Los Aiigelea," Owens said. "Nothing ever was happening." He moved to New York in the 1960s and at first did some designing. As Owens promoted his fashions, other designers were watching and aaked his " assistance in promoting theirs. He became ao " interested in this facet of the apparel business . he decided to make representing other talents ; his career. "I'd always been on the selliing side, " he ' said. "My talent lay in that direction." IN MARCH 1982 HE opened a small showroom at 498 Seventh Avenue, one of the prestigious skyscrapers in the garment district. Today, he has two floors in the building, a spacious area, but at the same time divided so that each collection has its own niche and salesperson in charge. He employs 25 salespersons, plus an office staff. "We did around 825 million in wholesale last year," he said. "Each year the volume doubles." The Owens operation collects a commission on sales -- 12 percent on a new collection, 10 percent on an established one. HE REPRESENTS designer-manufacturing firms In New York, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Uruguay, London, West Germany, Mexico, India and "all over the United States." ' Buyers come to his showrooms to order, and Owens also takes a "collage" of the various collections on the road, calling on the stores. Some major stores now have Rod Owens sec­ tions. Of that popularity for beading, Owens said he gave his mother an overall beaded number for her birthday: v , "She's 87," he saRT "She wanted to wear it immediately."
