Exactly 70 years after it was introduced at the 1939 World's Fair, nylon is making news again. Back then, women cheered the arrival of sheer hosiery. Now it's the men's runways that are filled with shiny nylon (and nylonesque) windbreakers. Prada's hangs off the shoulders with a strap, Patrik Ervell showed a featherweight poncho in gold and cream, and Dior Homme paraded black and gold versions. Nylon has always been used for both fashion and function, with practicality usually gaining the upper hand. During World War II, nylon production shifted from stockings to parachutes and tents, but with the development of low-cost nylon fabrics, the stage was set for a postwar boom. In 1949, Haspel Clothing promoted nylon suits with the slogan ''A crisp and new-as-tomorrow look.'' Soon after, men were dressing in basics like the Ike jacket, nicknamed for General Eisenhower. When James Dean wore a red windbreaker in ''Rebel Without a Cause'' (1955), it became a classic. A decade later, the skiwear company Bogner was dressing James Bond for the slopes, but reality soon trumped make-believe with the nylon-coated aluminumized spacesuit worn by John Glenn and the other Mercury astronauts. The '70s and '80s were all about high-tech nylon variations like Cordura: these were embraced by sailors like Dennis Conner, whose team won the 1988 America's Cup in nylon-bonded uniforms. Today nylon shows up in work wear from old pros like Carhartt and Dickies, mountain-climbing outerwear from Northface, Nike's windbreakers and the unitard developed by Speedo for Michael Phelps. In fact, this garment, together with the gear worn by bike messengers, was the inspiration for Duckie Brown's show, where nylon leggings were combined with synthetic shorts and crinkly jackets. Seven decades into nylon's history, it seems that fashion may finally be trumping function. RETURN ENGAGEMENT [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
