Label Text:Rudi Gernreich’s fashion innovations included a line of “No” bras, featuring “No Back,” “No Sides,” and “No Front” styles to accommodate a multitude of silhouettes. This could be considered his “no sleeves” design. Although the sleeves cover the entire arm, they are completely detached from their matching jumpsuit to allow for a convertible look.
