Needed Urgently! 1970\'s Tanga style swimsuit ala Gernreich or Sant\' Angelo
Dear VFG Friends,
I am contacting you on behalf of Penny Cuthbert, Curator, at the Australian National Maritime Museum. I am assisting her with research for our forthcoming exhibition Exposed! the story of swimwear.
We are seeking a 1970's vintage Rudi Gernreich Tanga swimsuit for display in the exhibition. Any examples by Rudi Gernreich, including Rudi Gernreich for Lily of France or Rudi Gernreich for Harmon Knitwear, would be ideal. We would also like to find a Giorgio di Sant' Angelo Tanga bikini circa 1975, as seen in the image attached.
We are also interested in purchasing a contemporary Tanga/G string style suit from the 1970's inspired by Gernreich or Sant' Angelo if a genuine piece proves too difficult to source. As we are working on a short deadline that may be the more practical approach.
If you are able to assist us in sourcing these items I would love to hear from you. I can be contacted at [email protected] .
Kind regards,
Clare
