	Retroactive Profile - Rudi Gernreich
		To most people, Rudi Gernreich is the guy who invented the topless swimsuit, He should be remembered for a great deal more than that.

		Gernreich was born in 1922 and died early in 1985.

	Rudi Gernreich
		Gernreich studied dance before entering the world of fashion and, using as inspiration the practice clothes of dancers, particularly leotards and tights, he produced pared down body-clothes in the 1960s, aimed at what seemed to be the new woman of the era.
		Gernreich's freeing of the breasts was a social statement, somehow part of the emancipation of women, and a portent of the unfettering of the breast by the women's movement in the 1970s.
		Gernreich was also responsible for developing the concept of unisex, believing that as women achieved more freedom in the 1960s, male dress would emerge from the aesthetic exile into which it had been cast in the 19th century.

	ueber...rudi gernreich
		Rudi Gernreichs "Uniformen" betonen weder Gleichheit noch Hierarchie, kristallisieren nicht jenen Anteil unserer Persönlichkeit, der davon bestimmt ist, vorweggenommene Erwartungen bedeutsamer Anderer zu erfüllen.
		Gernreich sah in der Hippie-Kluft den besten Beweis für sein eigenes Unisex-Konzept – daß eben Kleidung nicht zu einer Aufhebung der Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern führen kann.
		Insofern verfiel Gernreich nicht einem narzißtischen Ästhetizismus, sondern versuchte, seine Kritik an der ihn umgebenden Kultur programmatisch zu formulieren.

	Bikini Styles - Monokini
		When fashion designer Rudi Gernreich first introduced the monokini in 1964, the swimsuit consisted of bikini style bottoms with thin straps over the shoulders to hold the swimsuit in place.
		Gernreich’s monokini consisted of a fl knit suit that extended from the midriff to the upper thigh, employing two thin fl straps to hold it in place over the shoulders.
		By the end of the season, Gernreich had sold 3000 swimsuits at $24 a pop (a tidy profit for such a miniscule amount of fabric).

	Revolutionizing Fashion: The Politics of Style: Gernreich's "Back-to-School" Collection
		Known for exploring the intricacies of contemporary life, Rudi Gernreich was asked to envision the clothes of tomorrow for the first issue of Life magazine of January 1, 1970.
		Gernreich aimed to create a "utility principle" that would have allowed us to "take our mind off how we look and concentrate on really important matters".
		This utopian anti-fashion vision of the future was extremely powerful at the dawn of a new decade but was soon overshadowed by the chaotic state of current affairs and the tragic events at Kent State.

		Collectors of vintage Rudi Gernreich know that his work was about much more than the topless swimsuit which gave his name notoriety.
		Gernreich trained as a dancer before turning his eye to fashion, and his designs always reflected the dancer's love of motion, with clothes that didn't inhibit the body's freedom of movement.
		Beyond that topless suit, his innovative knitted swimsuit designs of the 1950s and his 'no-bra' bra in the mid 1960s, freed women's bodies and forever changed the way women looked in their clothing.
