If you liked Jane Seymour’s costumes, all...

If you liked Jane Seymour’s costumes, all vintage or contemporary Chanel styles, in last year’s TV version of “The Sun Also Rises,” you might want to watch for Jenny Seagrove in a miniseries in the fall. Listen hears that Karl Lagerfeld, who designed many of Seymour’s costumes, has been signed to style for Seagrove when she stars in “Hold That Dream,” based on the novel by Barbara Taylor Bradford. Word came our way from Lee Solters, a representative for the miniseries, who adds that Lagerfeld just might steal the show with his design for an evening gown embroidered in 18-karat gold, valued at $50,000.

Now that Mariel Hemingway has formed her own production company and spends more time in Hollywood, she tells Listen that she and husband Steve Crisman are looking for a location to open up a West Coast version of their Manhattan restaurant called Sam’s Cafe. Sam is Steve’s nickname for Mariel.

Ralph Lauren, “the Paul Newman of fashion,” as he once described himself to Listen, now tells us via a spokesperson that he’s planning to do “something extraordinary” with a store he will open in Beverly Hills. The phrase makes us think of a movie set. Especially in light of Lauren’s new store in Manhattan--once part of the Rhinelander family manse, now packed with more “classics” than just Lauren’s own line of clothes, shoes and home furnishings. (Among other objets are leather-bound copies of literary treasures, portraits of somebody’s ancestors and entire regiments of discarded riding boots as well as antique furniture fit for the finest families’ fannies.) It makes us wonder if Lauren won’t play up his other image, as the keeper of cowboy chic, when he comes west. Consider a converted dude ranch in the heart of Beverly Hills, and get ready to saddle up for some shopping.

She may wear sexy clothes on stage, but in real life Tina Turner prefers classy, upscale numbers. That’s the word from Maegan Hall, manager of the Laise Adzer boutique on Melrose Avenue, where Turner recently made some summer selections. “I showed her all our flip, short skirts and low-cut things, but she kept saying ‘no,’ ” Hall reports. Obviously in the mood for maximum coverage, Turner said “yes” to a coatdress that reached below her famous knees and gave the nod to several hand-woven coats she plans to use over bikinis and as bathrobes.

Those $10,000 boots artist Peter Max painted for the Di Fiori boutique in Beverly Hills finally have an owner. According to the shop’s Orson Mozes, singer Patti Labelle was so taken with the shoes--and how they complemented a leather outfit she bought from the store--that she plunked down $10,000 for the white leather boots bearing one of Max’s unique multicolored abstract designs.

Looks as if actress Molly Ringwald is not the only one who’s looking “Pretty in Pink.” The political correctness of feminists wearing pink is the subject of a May Ms. magazine article. Listen is happy to report that though the story’s title asks its readers, “Do You Have Color Anxiety?” the subtitle is “Discovering the Pleasure of Wearing Pink, and Other Colorful Tales.” Writer Susan Jacoby, who recently “re-admitted” pink to her wardrobe “after a 25-year hiatus,” concludes: “Freedom to use color is, in my view, one of the few inarguable advantages that conventional fashion codes confer on women rather than men.” Likewise in the May issue of Mademoiselle, feminist writer Louise Bernikow discusses her recent attempts at learning to enjoy cosmetics. “Have I been missing something?” she asks. “ . . . Do I secretly envy those women who are ‘good’ at makeup the way I envy those who know how to tie scarfs? I confess, yes . . . Real women, I discovered, do wear makeup: lipstick and liner and blusher and mascara. Real women wear the works. We don’t quite love it--and we can’t live without it.”

If you’re wondering what to wear on July 4th for the centennial celebration of the Statue of Liberty, American Express is offering a couple of appropriate accessories that have Statue status. Hermes, the French firm whose scarfs are status symbols and collectors items, has been commissioned to create a limited-edition design called the Lady Liberty scarf. It’s $100 if you plan to wear it, $250 if you want it framed. Cartier has designed a timely $10,000 gold-and-diamond watch with Miss Liberty engraved on the face. Also included with the Cartier watch is an invitation to participate in a 10-day, free VIP trip to Paris beginning July 1. Both gifts are available through American Express Merchandise Services.

Caroline Kennedy’s fiance, Edwin Schlossberg, plans to be wed in a WilliWear design, but not a tuxedo, Listen hears. Schlossberg, who once designed a T-shirt for WilliWear designer Willi Smith’s Artists’ Series, has asked Smith to dress the male wedding party. Smith tells Listen: “All we’ve decided so far is that the men won’t be wearing tuxedos. The wedding is in the summer, so Edwin wanted something a little less classic.”

More on Wedding Wear: Though a fashion trade publication recently announced Caroline Kennedy would be aisle-dressed up in Carolina Herrera on her wedding day, Listen decided to check for details with the designer and came up with this. “As far as we know right now, we’re not doing the dress,” says Debra Hughes, a spokesperson for Carolina. Herrera has been considered a front-runner for the dress since the mother of the bride, Jackie O, has been seen wearing the Herrera label frequently in recent seasons.

Celebrating the life of Marjorie Alice Lenz, retired Western editor of Charm and Mademoiselle magazines who died last week, friends remembered everything from her reputation for tardiness to her ability to make others laugh. In a eulogy delivered at All Saints Episcopal Church in Beverly Hills, Lee Hogan Cass, vice president and fashion director of the Broadway, read recollections from those who had known Lenz at UCLA and during her 40-year career with the magazines. Entering UCLA in 1931, Lenz was a political science major, who in 1936, classmate Kay Hertzog Messner recalled, became the second woman in the school’s history to be yearbook editor. A third-generation Californian, Lenz was remembered by Lenore Benson, executive director of the Fashion Group, as “a delightful friend and colleague, whose West Coast pride almost bordered on prejudice. She was one of a special breed in a special era.” In memory of Lenz’s devotion to community services and her staunch support of young talent, contributions have been sent to the Gold Shield for Fellowship and Scholarship at UCLA and to the Arthritis and Rheumatic Diseases Foundation.

Oprah Winfrey was shopping for a pair of stockings. “But one thing led to another, and she ended up spending more than $5,000,” we hear from Blanche Phillips of the Forgotten Woman clothing boutique in Beverly Hills. First Winfrey noticed a cotton slacks set studded with jewels, Phillips recalls. Then she tried on tennis shoes covered with rhinestones and pearls. And then she discovered the dress department. “She said she never found so many clothes with so much fashion,” Phillips tells Listen.

Madonna may have made L.A. fashion designer Marlene Stewart famous, but a juggling-and-magic act called the MUMs (Mind Under Matter) say they found her first. MUM members made their one-up announcement after a recent juggling-and-magic show at Tony Bill’s 72 Market Street restaurant. During a rowdy question-and-answer period in which they spoofed superstars at a press conference, they explained that their psychedelic-colored, sequined and hand-painted suits are Stewart originals. They also announced that they have their hair cut at Beverly Hills Tramp.

Members of the pop rhythm and blues group Kool and the Gang pulled into the Fred Segal shop on Melrose Avenue recently for a quick shopping spree. Their manager called in advance to announce: “We’re coming in 10 minutes.” Menswear manager George Grimball tells Listen that the band was looking for something to wear for a McDonald’s commercial they were shooting. They left with some colorful pieces by Cerruti, Ghinea, Heartland, Mono and Curt Robbins. Grimball notes the band remained as unruffled as their name implies. “They were perfect gentlemen.”

And now from Beverly Hills, the hot spot that brought us that seemingly endless selection of sweat shirts, sun hats, key chains and tote bags to take home with us to Nebraska, let there be the Beverly Hills Baby Club.
