Desert Red Multi-Strings

Desert, Israel
1991 GO9165

Costume
   Gideon Oberson dark red string halter and multi-cord sidestrap v-kini. Style 1225. Sunglasses.

   TML. N-2.

Actions
   A sun-worshiping swimsuit model leans back on the rocks (1).

Commentary
   The influence of the v-kini is coupled with string details. The slightly higher waistline and sophistication of the edge lines pitch the garment at a slightly older woman. The bikiniite matured: plenty of exposure, modern elements, revival.
   Over the years debate has raged over whether culotte such as this are string or sidestrap species. Valid arguments can be made both ways, but typically lacking in the multi-string is a sense of the tie, the fastener. Thus to a large extent the string species is not just about the narrowest cord (certainly a singular, minimal one), it is also about the tie. Thus the spirt of the multi-cord is away from the stringtie species in more ways than one.
