His infamous topless bathing suit caused quite a scandal but I never really thought it was that great of a design, so I didn't fully appreciate him until I went to LACMA's Costume Council talk "That California Look: Mid-Century Fashion Magic With Curator Kaye D. Spilker." The lovely Ms. Spilker spoke of just how influential he was, and highlighted some of his other brave designs, like this one from 1965.
