Elle MacPherson Topless Maillot & Hands

Ocean or beach
February 1989 EM8908

Costume
   Red center-strapped T-front topless maillot, with hands covering breasts.

   TML. Cleavage. Inguinal.

Actions
   Supermodel MacPherson crisscrosses her hands across her breasts, covering herself (1). Another pose (2).

Commentary
The topless maillot enjoys periodic reinventions since Rudi Gernrich's 1964 invention. Like Gernrich's, this incarnation has center straps, but a lower waistline and higher legline than the original. Compare to Peggy Moffitt in 1964 (PM6410).
