DescriptionBra and panties in giraffe printed polyester tricot

Label Text:Many of Rudi Gernreich’s designs liberated women’s bodies from constricting garments. During the 1960s, he created bras for Exquisite Form that were constructed from mere triangles of stretchy fabric. This giraffe-print set matched a tunic and wide-legged trousers, underscoring Gernreich’s interest in “total look” dressing.
