About the designer (taken from Wikipedia)
“…In 1969, Kamali opened a boutique with her then-husband Mohammed Houssein Kamali. She became known for her line of clothing made of real silk parachute material, which included the innovation of being adjustable in length and fit by draw string. Kamali designed the red one-piece bathing suit worn by Farrah Fawcett in the iconic 1976 poster and the bathing suit worn by Whitney Houston on the back cover of her 1985 debut album. Farrah Fawcett’s suit was donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2011. She is one of several designers credited with popularizing the shoulder pad in womenswear in the 1980s and played a prominent role in adapting exaggerated shoulder pads to casual clothes at the beginning of the eighties shoulder-pad era in 1978. She reached a peak of fame during the early 1980s with her 1980 “Sweats” collection, a variety of casual garments done in sweatshirt fabric, most famously flounced, hip-yoked miniskirts called rah-rah skirts in the UK, a style she had first presented in other fabrics in 1979. Her work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art…”
