It’s a Rudi Gernreich, but don’t admit it, ‘kay?

many people only know one design of Rudi Gernreich’s — the topless swimsuit. Which I think would be a problem if you purchased this dress (from thefrock.com, $1500, click on the image to check it out, but you’ll have to scroll down). because they would ask you “where’d you get that incredible dress?” and you’d say, “It’s a Rudi Gernreich,” and then (inevitably) they’d say “Oh, the topless swimsuit guy?” and where does the conversation go from there? (It goes to “Excuse me, I have to catch that man by the bar,” that’s where it goes.)

So I say, if you purchase the dress, just lie. say “this old thing? I’ve had it for so long I’ve forgotten.” tell them your grandma made it. tell them it was on sale at Nordstrom Rack. It’s just simpler that way. and it’s still great without the name. possibly even better.
