Ocean rock, America 1974 RG7410 Costume She: Rudi Gernreich black halter and tanga bikini. He: Rudi Gernreich barechested black tanga bikini. She: TMLA. N-2. He: TMLCA. Actions A male and female duo model the thong bikini at the seaside (1), with front as as well as back views (2). Commentary Gernreich, so often ahead of his time, is ahead with the tanga too, not only in in the bikini silhouette (seen here) but also in maillot variation (HN7501, RG7910). Seasoned bikiniologists will remember that Gernreich is also the inventor of the topless swimsuit. Source Photograph by William Claxton.
