Doyle New York, sale April 9, 2003, (0304091) lot 581; purchased by the Indianapolis Museum of Art (2003).
The influence of 1960s popular culture on the world of fashion affected even the most conservative designers, such as Norman Norell.
This "genie" outfit in electric blue, with a bare midriff top, was inspired by the popular hit TV program of the time "I Dream of Genie."
