| In Rudy Geinreich's anti-fashion vision of the future, the body itself would be shown as an object of beauty rather than what covered it. Honesty called for alternative fashions for the elderly: when the body could no longer be accentuated, Geinreich proposed that it be abstracted by caftan-like cover-ups and bold decorative motifs such as the caftan seen here. |
