Ms. Milestone Suspender Maillot

Studio Seamless, America
c. 1983 V198305

Costume
   White (braless) t-shirt layered over Norma Kamali black suspender maillot. Wrist watch. Binoculars.

   ML. N-1.

Actions
   Ms. Milestone stands looking at us, one hand holding binoculars and the other at her side (1).

Commentary
   This milestone photograph introduces the strapped exercise maillot. Like Rudi Gernreich's topless maillot, this design is also topless; only here it is worn over a shirt, and indeed, one which is not quite tucked into the maillot, showcasing the belly button center stage. Compare to AN8610, JE9346.
