Barbra Streisand's first CBS-TV special, "My Name Is Barbra," will be broadcast this Wednesday, April 28, and one scene of her show will take place in the haute-couture New York store—Bergdorf Goodman. Here is a sampling of the clothes by Emeric Partos and (pictured on page 22) the hats by Halston designed exclusively for Barbra for this part of the show.
